Re: Still broken sata (VIA) on Asus A8V (kernel 2.6.14+) with irqbalance

[Sergio Monteiro Basto <sergio@sergiomb.no-ip.org>]

cat DMESG | grep -i fixup
PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:10.0, from 11 to 3
PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:10.1, from 11 to 3
PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:10.2, from 10 to 3

with IO-APIC working , you could try patches to not "VIA IRQ quirk
fixup", but could not be the main problem. 

I have a very experimental patch
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/28/99


Which you can just apply and make bzImage, install and reboot  , don't
need to recompile all over again.
