Tyan K7X with AMD MP 2.4.19-rc3-ac4

Tyan K7X with AMD MP 2.4.19-rc3-ac4

[Thomas Mierau]

Hi

I am trying to get the above board to work. Somehow it doesn't.
I tried kernel  2.4.18, 2.4.19-rc3, 2.4.19-rc3-ac3 and of course the latest 
2.4.19-rc3-ac4

The machine itself is "working" stable under 2.4.18 with a limited 
functionality (no network, no additional scsi ports, no printer, no usb ...)

The problem is always the same. The eth1 is not working properly and the IRQ's 
are not setup correctly. The I/O-APIC reports ok.

I disabled all the I/O that I don't need. otherwise I will have the raid, 
another scsi and the eth0 on IRQ11

The unknown bridges are all identified correctly by vendor and device. But 
somehow I have the feelng that the conversion for the AMD768 PIC is not 
working correctly.

I hope anybody has an idea
(by the way forget the noapic, doesn't change anything)

Here is my dmesg

Done.
Doesn't change anything. Actually I started without any acpi before
The dmesg looks quiet the same just without the acpi stuff.

The machine freezed again after a while. I have another strange effect during 
make which might be related to the same problem. In version  2.4.18 I can 
compile the kernel as I like.
Since 2.4.19-rc3 the machine freezes during compilation. If I use the option 
"make -j" I don't have any problems.

Start by disabling acpi support

My machine is still not working.
I tried ...-ac5 too.
I did a little debugging. Everything seems to be detected correctly. I 
also changed the /proc/interrupts a little to see if and which IRQs are 
know to the system. IRQ's up to 21 are all IO-APIC or XT-PIC IRQ's so 
that part is fine. But I don't get any redirects

The IRQ's are distributed pretty even between the CPU's. eth1 on IRQ5 
shows just 1 IRQ and no change after pinging another of our servers. The 
data is transmitted thou, as I receive the ping on the other machine. 
The other one is also answering.
On my SMP machine I get an error that the IRQ can't be handled and that 
may be another device uses it.
There is no other device (as I stripped the machine down to nothing) The 
  printer is disabled in BIOS. PCI just shows eth1 on IRQ5. And ther is 
only one "action" in the IRQ setup.


During boot I looked at all IRQ's and printk'ed the "shared" which the 
system is checking they all show a "shared=0" --> single IRQ source.

I looked at other postings and all of them had the redirects. But all 
the Kernels were also 4GB kernels, while I am using the 64G Kernal as I 
have 4GB RAM + swap. Is there any sense in removing some RAM for testing 
or not

The issue with the freezing system is persistent. The only question is 
when. Compliling the kernel with standard "make" will hang up the system 
hard. Using the option "make -j" will work with no problem.

Thank's Rudmer

Actually it is disabbled intentionally. The eth0 will install itself on 
the IRQ11 and I didn't find a way to get it somewhere else. IRQ11 is 
used by the SCSI Raid Controller already whic is fixed in the 66Mhz 
64Bit slot(and later on by another onbord AIC7xxx device which I am also 
unable to reroute up to now)
And even the eth1 is not working properly
