I thought I'd read everything about the Rhine and Via in my lurking on lkml, but I must have missed something. This box here is an Abit KD7-RAID (Via KT400 + Rhine II) and I have IOAPIC enabled and am using Roger's latest driver with 2.4.21-pre6 with great success. rei $ uname -a Linux rei 2.4.21-pre6-preempt #1 Mon Mar 31 17:05:40 PST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux rei $ cat /var/log/dmesg | egrep -i "via|rhine" PCI: Using IRQ router VIA [1106/3177] at 00:11.0 PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 00:10.0, from 10 to 5 PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 00:10.2, from 11 to 5 VP_IDE: VIA vt8235 (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci00:11.1 agpgart: Detected Via Apollo Pro KT400 chipset via-rhine.c:v1.10-LK1.1.17 March-1-2003 Written by Donald Becker http://www.scyld.com/network/via-rhine.html eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xd800, 00:50:8d:45:af:b7, IRQ 23. rei $ grep APIC /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y What am I missing here? It sounds like it's dangerous to use, but it doesn't look like it's broken. -- Marc Wilson | One big pile is better than two little piles. -- msw@cox.net | Arlo Guthrie
