The messages log tells me that the card/driver is not raising an interrupt (IRQ 32 in this case, but I presume that is laregely irrelavent)... looking further I found a message asking me to email you. I thought the ethernet problem could be related to ACPI but am not armed with enough knowledge to know for sure. I tried adding pci=noacpi to the grub kernel line...I also seperatly tried acpi=off. THe kernel appeared not to understand the noacpi option and seemed to ignore the acpi. THe version of the kernel is 2.4.9-44 and it can not be upgraded for various reasons. The message in the log is: IO APIC #14....... .... regieter #00: 0E000000 ....... : physical APIC id: 0E .... register #01: 00230011 ....... : max redirection entries: 0023 WARNING: unexpected IO-APIC, please mail to linux-smp@vger.kernel.org As FYI the affect I am seeing is that I can ping port1 of the ethernet quad card, port 2 is slow port 3 is almost unresponsive etc. etc.
