> [4294678.019000] IOC3 part: [], serial: [] => class IP27 BaseIO This is not really weird, the IOC3 on the IP27 board has no NICs. We'd have to trace the BRIDGE NICs or even HUB NICs to get the serials, so I decided that it's an overkill. Although it will be required for reliably detecting MENET (which has a serial# NIC on the BRIDGE). > [4294678.020000] ioc3_probe : request_irq fails for IRQ 0x4 This is weird. This means the keyboard will not be operational, and I wish somebody (Ralf) looks into this. The IOC3 on IP27 BaseIO is a dual-slot device (takes two IRQs, the INTA and INTA+2). > [4294678.020000] ttyS0 at IOC3 0x8620178 (irq = 0) is a 16550A > [4294678.027000] ttyS1 at IOC3 0x8620170 (irq = 0) is a 16550A Serial ports will not use IRQs on IP27 unless somebody does dynirqs for this arch. Nevertheless, if you pass 0 to register_serial() it will use polling. Note that this is exactly the way IP27 always handled the serial ports in ioc3-eth.c, so shed no tears :) > [4294678.033000] Ethernet address is 08:00:69:0d:52:e7. Good news this works. Anyone with Origin 2000 that had problems with MAC NICs care to test? Stanislaw
