X86_64 + VIA + 4g problems

[Dieter Stüken <stueken@conterra.de>]

just gave 2.6.15-rc7 a try, but still fail when plugging 4g into the board :-(
Its an Asus sk8v (VIA chipset), thus I get:

Looks like a VIA chipset. Disabling IOMMU. Overwrite with "iommu=allowed"

GSI 19 sharing vector 0xC1 and IRQ 19

eth0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940)
      PrefPort:A  RlmtMode:Check Link State

don't know, if it's related to that, but with 2G it runs stable since about a year.

The problem arises as soon as my network (3C940) gets enabled, the following
message is continuously repeated and nothing else works any more, not even
console switching.

eth0: -- ERROR --
Class: Hardware failure
Nr: 0x264
Msg: unexpected IRQ Status error
eth0: Adapter failed.

Any suggestion? Try different boot options acpi= pci= iommu= ... ?
