Description Konstantin Olchanski 2007-01-13 03:44:28 UTC

I have trouble running RHEL4 on our new computer with the ASUS CROSSHAIR
motherboard- the CPU is dual-core Athlon64x2 5200+, the chipset is the NForce
590 MCP55. Different BIOS revisions and different kernel versions all
malfunction in different ways.

I am filing this bug against the most usable combination:

BIOS version 0401 (Latest BIOS from ASUS)
Linux kernel kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.40.EL.x86_64.rpm (Latest RHEL4 kernel available
from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/)

With this kernel, SATA works, the MCP55 network works, sound works, but USB does
not work: modprobe of USB modules yelds these errors, no USB devices are seen,
/proc/bus/usb is empty:
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.1[B]: no GSI
ehci_hcd 0000:00:0a.1: EHCI Host Controller
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0a.1 to 64
ehci_hcd 0000:00:0a.1: request interrupt 255 failed
ehci_hcd 0000:00:0a.1: init 0000:00:0a.1 fail, -22
ehci_hcd: probe of 0000:00:0a.1 failed with error -22
ohci_hcd: 2004 Feb 02 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A]: no GSI
ohci_hcd 0000:00:0a.0: OHCI Host Controller
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0a.0 to 64
ohci_hcd 0000:00:0a.0: request interrupt 255 failed
ohci_hcd 0000:00:0a.0: init 0000:00:0a.0 fail, -22
ohci_hcd: probe of 0000:00:0a.0 failed with error -22

Other non-working combinations of interest to Red Hat developers and users:

kernel-2.6.19.2 built from sources: USB works, but MCP55 ethernet is
intermittent: periodically it stops (no ping), ifconfig down/up restarts it
(forcedeth driver).

kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.x86_64 from RPM: NVidia SATA does not work: see long
timeouts while probing the disks, ultimately does not see the root filesystem.

Fedora 6 DVD in rescue mode: boots, SATA works, network works.

RHEL4 installation CD: network does not work (either NVidia or add-on PCI card),
looks like interrupts do not work. SATA works, USB works.

original BIOS (version 01-something) - all Linux kernels fail to boot with IRQ
routing errors, booting with "noapic" gets the farthest, but ultimately fails.

(in the output of "lspci", observe that USB interfaces are assigned IRQ 255.
Botched IRQ routing in ACPI?)

Comment 1 Konstantin Olchanski 2007-02-17 21:52:20 UTC

Tracking new kernels from jbaron:
2.6.9-48.ELsmp: USB still does not work (no interrupt assigned).

Plus I see problem I missed before:
according to "vmstat 1", interrupt frequency is 780 kHz, this is abnormally
high. "cat /proc/interrupts" and "top" confirm this: "top" shows 80% CPU usage
in "hi" (hardware interrupt) state, /proc/interrupts show high counting rates of
libata interrupts 5, 7, 10 and 11, even when there is no disk activity in the
system.

K.O.

Comment 2 Konstantin Olchanski 2007-07-06 03:21:25 UTC

Good news. With the latest RHEL4.5 kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp and BIOS version
604 both USB and IDE seem to work. Thanks and keep up the good work, guys! K.O.
