Hi,
YES!! You must build a kernel with (at least) the following options:
Processor type and features -> Local APIC support on uniprocessors
Processor type and features -> IO-APIC support on uniprocessors
General setup -> Power Management support -> ACPI Support
and I have successfully built and run a monolithic kernel with the
following options selected:
Network device support -> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) -> Intel(R) PRO/1000
Gigabit Ethernet support
and of course:
SCSI support -> SCSI low-level drivers -> Serial ATA (SATA) support ->
sata_vsc
I have successfully used both the 2.4.29 kernel tree for this as well as
the 2.6.10 kernel tree... The magic is in the PCI interrupt steering of
the APIC and IO-APIC... But these two really aren't doing their things
unless you have APCI enabled and working.... Once you have got it going
the right way, you can look in /proc/interrupts and see:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/proc# more interrupts
CPU0
0: 21934005 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 2 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
18: 197698 IO-APIC-level eth0
22: 14 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx
25: 79029 IO-APIC-level libata
NMI: 0
LOC: 21932615
ERR: 0
MIS: 0
^^^^^^ This tells you that IO-APIC is steering the
interrupts also, note the interrupt 18, 22, and 25... Usually you only see
PIC interrupts to 15.... This is what made it work....
Regards and best of luck.
