trouble with medion 9788 DE notebook

[<joerg.beyer-htSm2yLGOjU@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

I have a medion 9877 DE notebook, which is a Athon 1.Ghz machine, simmilar to 
this onhttp://rguerin.free.fr/medion/ .

without your acpi patch I cant use the nic. I understand that this is not a problem with the
nic, but a problem with the IRQs. Ok I used several versions of your patches, e.g.
acpi-20020815-2.4.20-pre3.diff.gz with the respective linux kernel. I still get _a_lot_
errors on the network interface, and also disk access is _very_ slow. It takes minutes
to untar something like the linux kernel tarball.

This is what lspci tells about the machine:
linux:/home/joerg # lspci 
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365 [KT133/KM133] (rev 80)

00:07.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)

00:0c.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ6933 Cardbus Controller (rev 01)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc.: Unknown device 8d02 (rev 01)

and these are the errors I have on the nic.

linux:/home/joerg # ifconfig eth0
eth0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:07:CA:00:AC:A3  
          inet Adresse:10.0.0.30  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Maske:255.0.0.0

          Interrupt:10 Basisadresse:0x1000 


/var/log/messages tells me, this:

Aug 20 22:05:52 linux kernel: eth0: Too much work at interrupt, IntrStatus=0x0040.
Aug 20 22:06:23 linux last message repeated 8 times

Aug 20 22:08:25 linux last message repeated 558 times
Aug 20 22:08:45 linux last message repeated 190 times


Does anybody has an idea/suggestion hwo to fix this?

    TIA
    Joerg
