But the main issue still remain, I don't get any interrupts from the network interfaces! what have I done wrong?
Have you configured LinuxBIOS to build mptables as well? These might take priority, I'm not sure.
thanks for the hint I'll try that
Can you say what motherboard/chipset you have?
The motherboard is based on the broadcom blast the chipset is the HT1000/HT2000 aka 5785/5780
linuxbios also fail to map the tg3 net interfaces through MSI which the standard bios does, but it maps the intel net interfaces through MSI... how come?
Standard bios uses ACPI for IRQ configuration.
Yes, but how can I get linuxbios to map the tg3 i-faces through MSI as well? are they different from the intel ones because they're integrated or something?
Each bridge must have a Hypertransport MSI Mapping configured. Linux will complain about them being missing for some devices. If you can look at the output of dmesg and maybe attach it here, there should be some information that can help like this:
It's attached! although not as nice as yours! :) I can't make out much :/
I've discovered that the pci device numbering is mismatched in the Config.lb for the mainboard and I haven't added the Intel net i-faces to it, but yet they appear in Linux? should I change it to match the lspci output?
thanks for your patience helping me out. I really appreciate it!
