It's our own's card. so it could be the card's problem. does the pci device have to do some special thing to support APIC? my card won't work properly on uni-processor with APIC enable kernel or smp kernel when the card is sharing IRQ with some other pci devices. Alex On Fri, 1 Jun 2001, Ingo

The driver for my pci device, I have the SA_SHIRQ set. Actually what I am thinking it may be APIC support problem. I rebuild my kernel to use single cpu without APIC support, my device and 3c905 both work fine. they don't work for SMP kernel (APIC is by default enabled) Then I configured my uni-p

Hi, all, I have one pci device in my dell optiplex gx300 dual pIII box. when this device in a certain pci slot, it shares the same IRQ with the on mother board 3com NIC(3c905) (irq=5). when I run the kernel smp-2.4.x, my PCI device can not receive any interrupt while the /proc/interrupts shows th
