RE: Issue wit ACPI and Promise?

[Grover, Andrew]

The IDE controller is on irq 9 and I bet ACPI is, too. I've seen other
reports like this.

Either the ACPI interrupt handler is not sharing properly or the promise
interrupt handler isn't. Given that I can't duplicate it, I'm reduced to
waiting for some kind soul to send a patch.. :-(

I also have a related problem with ACPI and emu10k driver both on IRQ 9 but
only when I run a SMP kernel.
My money is on that this is a problem with ACPI.

I've seen exactely this problem (reproducable, and I'm not alone),
without Promise. It seems it's ACPI.

Great. Since I don't have the HW I need your help.

Please stick printk()s in drivers/acpi/events/evsci.c acpi_ev_sci_handler().

I'd like to know where in there it is hanging, and if it is ever returning.
I don't know your level of comfortability in all this so please email me if
you need more explicit instructions on what I'm asking for.

Thanks in advance! ;-)

I've got an "I'm there" at line 73, then it hangs.

Mmh, it's not always freezing at the same place. For now (after several
dozens reboots), I see:

- freeze after line 73 in acpi_ev_sci_handler()

- freeze after line 79 in acpi_ev_sci_handler()

- freeze after the message "tbxface-0107 [01] Acpi_load_tables      :"

... randomly.

To notice, sometimes if I press the power button when it's frozen, then
it "defreezes" and continues. Sometimes it powers down instantly.
Sometimes it just outputs an APIC error. But most of the time it does
nothing.

Issue wit ACPI and Promise?

[Gert-Jan Rodenburg]

Hi,

Trembling all over, this is my first post on this list.
Up 'till no I have refrained from posting for I alway thought that any fault 
was more likely to be originated by errors on my side, then on software 
written by you guys. Therefore, please be gentle *grin*.

Now for the problem:

I have an ASUS a7v-133 mobo and get the following messages when I boot up:

This all seems correct to me, everything works too.

But whenever I enable ACPI in the kernel things stop at the <-- Machine..... 
line. Nothing else to do but a reset.

Because it stops right when the things with the drives on the 
promise-connectors are to happen, I suspect that is the cullprit.

Any Ideas, or need for a more elaborate description of my system? I gladly 
will supply them to you all :)
