Dear Paul Burton,

Without setting up the PIRQ[A:D] interrupt routes, PCI interrupts will
be left disabled. Linux does not set up this routing but relies upon it
having been set up by the bootloader, reading back the IRQ lines which
the PIRQ[A:D] signals have been routed to.

Did you also submit a fix to Linux guys?

Best regards,

No, I haven't. Although Linux is reliant upon these values having been programmed it's quite clear from reading its code that that depence is intentional. It explicitely reads the route setup by the bootloader rather than clobbering it, and to me that does make sense in this case.

However the pcnet32 ethernet driver seems to be reliant upon the interrupt and doesn't handle the case of a PCI device with no assigned interrupt, so I'll send a patch to fail its probe in that case shortly.

Thanks,
    Paul
