Yes. Something along that line. For the one Geode system I had, I wrote the interrupt configuration myself, avoiding to fiddle with kernel pirq code (still needs a somewhat correct pirq table) > I'm still somewhat confused though.

LinuxBIOS does not do that, it provides the tables and requires the OS to do so. _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
