Hi,

Apologize for the delay in responding to this. I was out of office. 


>>indeed /proc/interrupts shows only PCI-MSI and not PCI-MSI-X. I
thought

Yes. The option does disable both MSI and MSI-X, but as the issue
described is MSI-X specific, there is no need to pass this option if MSI
is being used.

>>So the BCM5708 cards on an R900 cannot function if disable_msi is

With disable_msi enabled in modeprobe.conf the 5708 card will function
using traditional interrupt and will not enable MSI. You can verify this
too using cat /proc/interrupts.

With regards,
