Date: Thu, 13 May 1993 16:17:25 GMT Message-ID: <C6z3x1.1LK@raistlin.udev.cdc.com> References: <1sqios$bcu@urmel.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> <C6xsB1.KwF@claircom.com> Sender: usenet@raistlin.udev.cdc.com (News poster) Lines: 13 I went through this some time ago. I was told by a knowledgable person that the problem is in /sys/i386/isa/icu.h in the INTR or INTRSTRAY macros. Apparently, there is some evidence that some motherboards are sensitive to how the EOIs are sent to the interrupt controllers. I'm just regurgitating what I was told so please take this with a pound of salt. My solution was to return my new motherboard. -- #include <std.disclaimer> #define FULL_NAME "Paul Dokas" #define EMAIL "pbd@runyon.cim.cdc.com" /* Mustang Sally changed my life. */
