[LinuxBIOS] IRQ plz help!

[Thomas Ekstrand]

Hi!

This is most certainly incredible easy for some but I feel lost in the dark! :)
I want to use linuxbios on a custom system board based on the broadcom
blast. It boots like a charm but most of the IRQs are wrong. The
default is wrong and the getpir generated table is bogus and after
filling the irq_table.c manually there is still no change!
It seems as it doesn't matter what I put in the irq_tables.c.
I got the tip that if linuxbios is compiled with mptable enabled it
might override the irq_tables.c. I acted on that and set the "default
HAVE_MP_TABLE=0" in mainbrd Options.lb. this resulted in a system
hang. So I tried to make the irq assignment in mptable.c but I don't
understand how it works, which numbers go where?

Stefan talked about doing ACPI tables, did you mean APIC tables? How
do they look and where do they go?

It is so frustrating to have a working system that can't do anything
because of the missing irqs, how do you guys do it? I have'nt found
anyone with a similar problem on the list!
