I tend to agree, and we would want to ask Kenneth Merry to run tests of that for us as his system now works with the 3940 in all other respects. By this I mean I believe he can now run the SMP kernel with APIC_IO enabled, and the 3940 booting the system properly. --- > Are there actually motherboards, that have a PCI BIOS > capable of assigning memory and I/O mappings to devices > behind PPBs, but fail to setup the interrupt routing > correctly ? That is still an unknown for the system that currently fails with the 3940. The primary issue is that the BIOS fails to create accurate information in the MP table it builds (or the problem might be that the table is hard coded in the ROM and thus CAN'T build info about a bridged PCI card) I just sent another patch to its owner for testing as to whether the routing is there even though the info isn't, Ill post as soon as we know. My best guess is that the physical routing is there, but that the MP table is incomplete. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzHe7tEAAAEEAM274wAEEdP+grIrV6UtBt54FB5ufifFRA5ujzflrvlF8aoE 04it5BsUPFi3jJLfvOQeydbegexspPXL6kUejYt2OeptHuroIVW5+y2M2naTwqtX WVGeBP6s2q/fPPAS+g+sNZCpVBTbuinKa/C4Q6HJ++M9AyzIq5EuvO0a8Rr9AAUR tBlTdGV2ZSBQYXNzZSA8c21wQGNzbi5uZXQ+ =ds99 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
