It sounds like the BIOS is a good place to set these.  I assume that a knowledgeable OS could change them if necessary?  At the very least, it does sound like we all agree that it's OK to have LB setup the steering until Linux is fixed.

I'd like to be able to set the steering registers in CS5530 systems too, but I'm not a software developer and I need some help.  So in src/mainboard/artecgroup/dbe61/irq_tables.c, you have:

It looks like pciAddr gets the address of the 0x5c steering register, and chipset_irq_map sets the right bits to set all 4 PIRQ lines.  But I'd expect to see the chipset_irq_map written to pciAddr.

The high 8 bits are for PIRQD and C, so that would screw things up if they were written to 0x5C, which is the INTB/INTA register.  Is there a reliable way to see the settings of the steering bits from a running system?

Jonathan,

You can use lspci to get that information.
"lspci -xxxv" or "lspci -s 00:12.0 -xxxv" for just device 0x12
