From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.11 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030720 Description of problem: I loaded Serven on my workstation at work. After booting up I found though there were no errors and the ip information was set correctly my network didn't work. I tried didn't cables, a crossover cable to another computer, e100 and eepro100 drivers. Finally I added acpi=off apci=off to the kernel during boot. Suddenly the network was working again. Next I tried just apci=off, and it didn't work again. Then I tried acpi=off by itself and it worked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load Serven 2. Install a Intel 10/100 card 3. Configure network with netconfig or neat 4. modprobe e100 or modprobe eepro100 5. service network start Actual Results: Everything looks good, but networking doesn't work Expected Results: Everything looks good, and networking works Additional info:
Can you post the output of 'dmidecode' for your system?
That's /usr/sbin/dmidecode -- run as root. Please also post the output of /usr/sbin/acpidmp

I also tried acpi=nopci while I was at it and it didn't help.

I don't have Gigabyte/AMD/Award or Abit/AMD/Phoenix systems handy, but severn on my Intel/Intel/AMI boxes seem to talk to e100 just fine. Is it possible to get the dmesg, /proc/interrupts, and ifconfig output for both the success and failure cases?
Created attachment 93841 [details] ACPI VT86/Award PCI interrupt patch. This patch has fixed the ACPI interrupt problem for similar systems. Please try applying it to a copy of your Severn BETA1 kernel to see if works for you too: ~/src/linux-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl> patch -Np1 < ./pci_link-severn.patch patching file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c patching file arch/i386/kernel/mpparse.c patching file drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c patching file drivers/acpi/pci_link.c patching file include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h
Dave, please take a look at this patch, thanks.
AFAICT, we have an improved variant of this patch already merged since test2
Personally, I'm convinced this is fixed. I can't repeat any problems with or without acpi=on using e100 or e1000 on several boxes.
