Linux cannot complete booting.
Also not with acpi=off so that it uses the mptable?
Yes. It fails to work with acpi, mptable, and pirq table. That means [no option], "acpi=off", and "acpi=off noapic" respectively.
Basically the code isn't ready yet.
I explained the issue in more detail in my first email qith this patch, that I had sent a while back.
Maybe we should have a CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL ?
Alright, but don't mind my asking, how exactly do we do this?
Alex why don't you leave acpi out for now, Linux doesn't need it to boot. I would concentrate on your IRQ routing issue.
I haven't even touched the ACPI in over month. I'm testing with "acpi=off". The problem doesn't seem to be IRQ routing, as in routing, but the IOAPIC refusing to work the way it should work. I've explained this in more detail in my initial posting.
I'm waiting for the friend who owns this board to pick it up any day now, so I doubt I will be able to finish it. I've been spinning in circles for a very long time now. If I can't get it ready, I'd like the next person who tries to port this board to already have my work as a starting point.
