Stephen reported that his DL585 G2 need noapic after 2.6.22 (?) Bann bisected -------------------------------------------------------------------- commit 30a18d6c3f1e774de656ebd8ff219d53e2ba4029 Date: Tue Feb 19 03:21:20 2008 -0800 x86: multi pci root bus with different io resource range, on 64-bit -------------------------------------------------------------------- cause the problem. it turns out that 1. that system have two HT chains. 2. BIOS doesn't allocate resource for BAR 6 under 8132 etc 3. that patches will try to split root resource to peer root resources according to pci conf of NB 4. pci assign unassign path, assign some range to pci-x bridge, but it is overlapping with ioapic addr of io4 and 8132. the reason is at that point ioapic address and BAR is not inserted yet. the BAR for io4 ioapic is not in regular position. the BAR for 8132 is sitting to func1, and pci-x bridge is func0. aka that patch is not the cause, and it just uncover other problems. solution is trying to insert ioapic_resource early a little bit.
