FWIW, we are running Linux on a SNI Primergy 560. Info is available at
http://www.siemensnixdorf.com/pc/pc_prod/infos/prim560.htm
The latest "stable" kernel version which works on this machine
is 2.0.30. Later kernel versions including 2.0.34pre2 and
2.0.30+deadlock patch do not work. Recompiling the kernel with
make -j 5 MAKE="make -j 5" bzImage
always causes irq deadlock messages. I have not yet seen a success
report of 2.0.3{1,2,3} on a quad machine.
I experimented with Linux-2.1.85 recently and found that it works with
io-apic-2.1.85-patch-B and "pirq=0". See below for boot messages.
Hope this helps,
Martin Braun
