For later AMD CPU, you could acpi for SRAT, SLIT..., plus irq routing in mptable. And not use DSDT for irq routing. Anyway table is good, AML or other byte code are bad. YH

Forget about ACPI for irq routing, They said dsdt is under IBV copyright. I don't think you can prove to implement one dsdt in clean room.

With that patch, you can use 4G RAM or more.

Did that, does nothing. I added the option=1 but wasn't sure it was making it into mtrr.c, so I also hard-set it there to 1 and 0 and none of those three tries affected the MTRR errors at driver load nor the contents of /proc/mtrr. -mcq -- mcqmcqmcq(a)fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely different... -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios(a)linuxbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

I'm trying to get one HTX IB card, to check why soft_reset does not work. YH

For MTRR error, I think the kernel is not happy with the uncachable entry for the memory hole. Try to install only 2G to see if the problem will go away. Then we can 1. modify the kernel to make it like mtrr layout for setting. 2. or change mtrr to increase style..., if the kernel is too .. YH

Interrupts still doesn't work? Try cat /proc/interrupts or /var/log/messages to see if it get interrupt.

Hey, 2.6.19.1 actually boots (better than 2.6.19)! 2.6.19.1 with HT_IRQ turned on yields: sh-3.1# modprobe ib_ipath PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin C of device 0000:40:01.0. Probably buggy MP table. mtrr: type mismatch for fd500000,100000 old: write-back new: write-combining ib_ipath 0000:40:01.0: mtrr_add() WC for PIO bufs failed (-22) ib_ipath 0000:40:01.0: infinipath0: Write combining not enabled (err 22): performance may be poor Note that HT_IRQ removes the complaint (formerly right before the mtrr complaints): ipath_core 0000:40:01.0: infinipath0: irq is 0, BIOS error?

You can use 2.6.19 later kernel and enable HT_IRQ in it. --- Eric worked it out, and I didn't have chance to test it. YH
