(cc: list trimmed and thread moved to linux-pci)

I have a PCI-E e1000 card that does not see interrupts on 2.6.20-rc5 unless CONFIG_PCI_MSI is disabled. An e1000 maintainer indicated that the PHY state is correct, it's just that the interrupt is not getting thru to the kernel. Interestingly, on 2.6.19 PHY interrupts get thru ok with MSI enabled (link status responds appropriately) but packet tx fails with timeout errors, implying that perhaps MAC interrupts are not arriving.

I've attached the contents dmesg, 'lspci -vvv', and 'cat /proc/interrupts' from 2.6.20-rc5.

This is an nForce 430 based chipset on a Dell E521 which has had interrupt routing issues before. Prior to 2.6.19 it had to be booted with 'noapic' in order to come up at all. It also had USB lockup problems until I applied the latest BIOS update (v1.1.4). So a BIOS interrupt routing bug with MSI is not out of the question.

I'm happy to gather more data or run tests...
