You kernel command line may need to
include “apic” to enable the apic mode.

the OLPC way
Pointers?
I’ve used OLPC buildrom as a base, customized the
kernel to include the SATA drivers, IDE, EXT2, EXT3. I removed the boot menu
and successfully boot into a shell with pciutils.
I can’t mount my IDE hard drive, even though I can see
it in the /proc filesystem. I’m trying mount –t ext3
/dev/hda1 /hdd.
When I do an lspci, all the IRQs are routed to IRQ 0.
I don’t know if this is the root of the problem, or a symptom.
How can I make sure that the PCI settings that I set up in
LinuxBIOS get passed on?
Thanks,
Myles
An unrelated note for those that are into OLPC: in linuxrc
two of the device files get made as text files because they are not there early
enough in the process
/sbin/makedevs /dev < device.txt > /dev/null
is bad because it creates a text
file where /dev/null should be.
The same thing happens to /dev/console in a different place.
