RE: [Fwd: 2.4 and aacraid dmesg]

[Salyzyn, Mark]

The message is coming from the PCI subsystem. Yes it is triggered by the
pending driver load and requesting card pci resources, but such messages
are usually a result of issues with the Motherboard BIOS or Hardware.
They are not generally a result of the driver or the associated
hardware.

My take (which can be incorrect) on this message is that someone put
just a bit too much debugging into the PCI subsystem :-) and the net
result is that you are firmly knowledgeable about the fact that device
on PCI address 03:0d.0 and 03:09.0 are sharing IRQ 4. The 'info' message
is printed every time the pcibios_enable_device() call is made. The
interrupt sharing is assigned by the Motherboard BIOS and if you have
subsequent problems with the operation of the card(s) or the system, you
should investigate updating the Motherboard BIOS or go into the
motherboard BIOS setup and see if you can reassign the PCI (IRQ)
resources.

The spurious 8259A interrupt message *may* be viewed as a problem.

Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn

Okay. The other device at 03:09.0 is a:

I'm getting this sh*t from 2.4.18 or so... I think its another story.

Anyway, I love this 2120S, boots quite slooowly, but works fine and
stable.

Ah, the chip is *very* *very* *very* hot on the card, is that normal?

Do you really need the audio card? :-) I'd toss (or disable) the audio
system in a heart beat just to remove the annoyance of the messages.

> Anyway, I love this 2120S, boots quite slooowly, but works fine and

Do keep the F/W up-to-date if you should run into problems. The driver
is thin for this card, most stability issues center around targets,
target compatibility & Hardware (some issues can even trace to Power
Supply problems).

The 2200S is more than four times as fast (when stressed to the
maximum), the 2120S was meant for 'budget' scenarios with feature
completeness in mind.

> Ah, the chip is *very* *very* *very* hot on the card, is that normal?

I can put my hand on the CPU and keep it there with only a smidgen of
concern and nary a sizzling sound. I would worry if you could cook eggs
on it. Do you have a means to measure the actual temperature to add some
objectivism? If so, I'd compare it to the chip's (clearly marked, can be
substituted) specification maximums if you want to get more comfortable
with it.
