Description of problem: Loaded Severn Beta 1 on a HP xw6000 workstation. When initializing the Adaptec cards it complains that no IRQs are found and hangs during boot process. If booting with acpi=off it will continue to boot normally. Here is the lspci output. 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2550 (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2552 (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB EHCI Controller (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB ICH4 IDE (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio (rev 01) 05:02.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) 05:0c.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03) 05:0c.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 (rev 03) 05:0d.0 PCI bridge: Hint Corp HB1-SE33 PCI-PCI Bridge (rev 13) 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17GL [Quadro4 200/400 NVS] (rev a3) 06:04.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17GL [Quadro4 200/400 NVS] (rev a3) Changing IRQs in BIOS configuration has not effect The same system works with RH9 stock kernel.
Can you post the output of 'acpidmp' and 'dmidecode'?
Does it boot if you use just pci=noacpi ?
Please verify that the system has the latest BIOS. Looks like you can create a BIOS 1.12 install floppy from the comfort of your local linux box: http://h20004.www2.hp.com/soar_rnotes/bsdmatrix/matrix295779en_US.html#BIOS Apparently BIOS 1.15 would entail using windows in some form... If it still fails with the latest BIOS, it would be great if you can capture the failed boot messages via serial console. BTW. my SE7505VB2 seems to run beta1 just fine -- it doesn't have an AIC boot disk, but has 5 PCI NICs that all work.
PCI IRQ routing code changed dramatically between test1 and what we have now. I'll lay odds on that this is fixed.
