Re: ACPI and broken PCI IRQ sharing on Asus M5N laptop

[Franklin Marmon]

I'm having a similar problem on a eMachine M6805.  When booting with
pci=noacpi my ethernet and firewire drivers are on different (working)
irq's than they get when booting without it.  I've attached more
detailed info to the message, but was just wondering if there was a
document showing the different acpi_xxx options? Or if you could point
me in the right place to find them?

Thank you,

frm

Notice that when allowing acpi to assign the irq's eth0 is on irq11, when 
turning of acpi for pci devices it is on irq 9.  The other device which is 
'off' is VIA8233 (should be 10, is put on 9 under acpi).
