RE: [WORKAROUND] For ASUS K8N-DL PCI allocation issues

["Hodle, Brian" <BHodle@harcroschem.com>]

Sean , thats what I have been doing for a few weeks now. If I disable the
ACPI APIC in the BIOS I can use the sound, network, and USB. However, if it
is enabled it locks while trying to share out IRQ 169 for the USB
Controller. (This happens even if I disable the USB Controller!). I fixed it
by removing OHCI support from the kernel.

Cheers,

-Brian

Subject: [WORKAROUND] For ASUS K8N-DL PCI allocation issues


I have determined that if you disable ACPI altogether in the BIOS I can
actually use the on-board hardware.  There are still allocation issues,
but I can access the USB controller, Sound and Broadcom ethernet adapter
at this point.  I haven't tested any further and would like some other
K8N-DL users to test my findings and make sure that this is the only
setting required to make the board functional at this point.

With BIOS 1003, enter the BIOS and move to POWER.  Set ACPI APIC Support
to Disabled and reboot.  

There is a small chance that you will also have to set the IRQ's of all
device manually.
