I'm engaged in an ongoing saga, trying to get at least one of my five
machines working properly with kernel 2.5. I'll save additional problem
reports until I can make them concrete.
Today's episode involves a KT400 chipset that works fine with recent 2.4
kernels(running 2.4.21-pre3-ac4 right now without any problems).
With 2.5.56, the ethernet cards don't work, while the exact same
hardware/bios options work with with 2.4.
Specifically, I have tried with the onboard realtek (8139too driver) as
well as a 3c59x pci card. Either separately or together, these cards
don't work due to claimed irq problems. Interestingly, /proc/pci reports
wildly different irq settings with 2.5 vs. 2.4 (output of both below).
2.4 maps the pci devices to irqs 16-19, while 2.5 reports them the same
way that the bios post screen reports them (5,10,11, ans 12). These
results are obtained by letting the bios automatically choose the pci
irqs. Different, but equally non-functional results have been obtained
by manually tweaking these bios settings.
Below, you'll find /proc/pci from both kernels as well as the syslog
output that reports irq problems on 2.5. The syslog error comes from the
3c59x card.
