Hi,
I just tried it again and I no longer get
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
That seems like a good thing. Interestingly enough, the factory BIOS has the spurious interrupt too.
OK cool.
IRQ 9 wasn't being set up correctly in the southbridge. I set a nibble to 9 and now it works.
Huh what register please????
Next I'll try XP again.
So now the ACPI based IRQ routing works and IRQ9 is 0 initially? Is it increased when you press the power button?
So far so good, Rudolf
