I found a sequence that reliably locks up my 82093AA ioapic with just one disable/enable_irq. I've attached a patch for the tulip driver. (tested with a pnic card) * focus cpu must be enabled. * Gerard's mask sequence: disable_irq() only sets IRQ_DISABLED, mask_and_ack masks the ioapic entry if an interrupt is send to a disabled handler. * tulip_open: disable_irq() <sleep> force the irq line active (enable both TPLnkPass and TPLnkFail, one of them is always active) <sleep> enable_irq() #insmod tulip #ifup eth1 and now the interrupt is delivered as edge triggered, but the IRR bit is set --> irq line stuck. Could someone test the patch with newer boards (i840, via apollo pro, perhaps i815 if the bios builds the MP table) I also tried changing the trigger mode bit in {,un}mask_level_IO_APIC_irq(), but that doesn't prevent the hang. The patch is against 2.4.1 -- Manfred
