From: Udo A. Steinberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The chipset doc for IHC4 tells us:
1.In general, software should not attempt any non-posted accesses during
arbiter disable except to the ICH4's power management registers. This implies
that interrupt handlers for any unmasked hardware interrupts and SMI/NMI should
check ARB_DIS status before reading from ICH devices.
So it's not a good idea to access ICH devices after arbiter shut down. It
freezes
ICH4 based boxen hard, when HPET is accessed after the arbiter shutdown.
