Hi,
the current cvs (as of a couple hours ago) works without additional
patches on my Decstation 5000/150 like a charm:

Hello,

It also worked for me earlier on an Indy R4600 - 1st kernel I have had
properly boot since 2.4-test9 IIRC.

It basically comes up for me but is endlessly slow because i am getting
a mad interrupt - Putting an printk("I%d", irq) into do_IRQ shows 
IRQ 8 going mad ...

Interesting. Does anyone know what IRQ 8 is?

sure :-) IRQ 8 is FIFO full and was never used (and to be honest, i don't
know what that irq is used for). before Wed, 21 Nov 2001 17:49:32 +0100
it was General purpose local interrupt - this one was also never
used. see include/asm-mips/sgi/sgint23.h for more info.

i have no clue, why you're getting this interrupt. it works pretty well
for me...

Ok - the IRQ8 get enabled because i have CONFIG_RTC set and in
drivers/char/rtc.c around line 730 it requests:

if(request_irq(RTC_IRQ, rtc_interrupt, SA_INTERRUPT, "rtc", NULL))

Immediatly afterwards the massive ammount of IRQs. With 100Hz and 160
Chars across the screen - I would expect 1-2 lines/s on the screen.
Instead the screen fills up within tens of seconds which seems to me
like non acked IRQ.

Weird..

Has any changes been made to the IRQ code lately?

Ralf - any ideas?

There indeed were and the guilty person already sent me a few fixes which
I haven't applied yet.

There is another bug i know about. When you powerup machine calibrating
delay loop takes approx. 70 sec (on Indy 100MHz). It seems that no (timer)
interrupt arrive during this delay. I didn't notice that, because i only
rebooted machine when i was testing it (in this case, everything works
well). I'll fix it as soon (monday) as i return from mountains.

ehh, you compiled MC146818 driver for Indy... that's not good idea - IP22
uses Dallas DS1286 RAMified Watcgdog Timekeeper. Enable CONFIG_SGI_DS1286
if you want RTC driver.

strange... you enabled FIFO full interrupt and it really arrived!(?) I'm
really curious what that means. Unfortunately only few SGI engeneers know
how Indy works and they don't tell it anyone :-(

CONFIG_RTC is set by "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support" - It seems
there is something broken in the config system then ...

tristate 'Enhanced Real Time Clock Support' CONFIG_RTC
if [ "$CONFIG_IA64" = "y" ]; then
   bool 'EFI Real Time Clock Services' CONFIG_EFI_RTC
fi
if [ "$CONFIG_OBSOLETE" = "y" -a "$CONFIG_ALPHA_BOOK1" = "y" ]; then
   bool 'Tadpole ANA H8 Support'  CONFIG_H8
fi

Was something changed there?

I read a report from an APUS (PPC Amiga) user who suddenly had a PC-style RTC
in his kernel, causing crashes. Could of course still be a user problem, but
since you got bitten by the same thing...

look to the drivers/sgi/Config.in instead

comment 'SGI devices'
bool 'SGI Zilog85C30 serial support' CONFIG_SGI_SERIAL
if [ "$CONFIG_SGI_SERIAL" = "y" ]; then
   bool '  Support for console on serial port' CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE
fi
bool 'SGI DS1286  RTC support' CONFIG_SGI_DS1286

i know... we have special driver for SGI, special driver for some ARM
based boards, for some ...(a lot of clocks to list :-)). but, that's
living ;-) search linux-mips archives, there was long debate about this
month ago. personaly i don't like way how it works now, but i haven't time
nor knowledges to change it without breaking anything, so i'm happy that
it works somehow.

 Not surprising as the only difference between 2.4.16 and 2.5.0 is the
version number. ;-) 

 I'm glad 2.4.16 works sufficiently well for you.

Err, that was 2.4.15 and 2.5.0, 2.4.16 contains at least the filesystem-uncorruption
feature, no?

 Yep, my mistake.  Better apply a 2.5.1 pre-patch to 2.5.0 or simply don't
run it then.
