The change "PCI: assign ioapic resource at hotplug" (commit
23186279658cea6d42a050400d3e79c56cb459b4 in Linus's tree) makes
networking stop working on my system (SuperMicro H8QC8 with four
dual-core Opteron 885 CPUs).  In particular, the on-board NIC stops
working, probably because it gets assigned the wrong IRQ (225 in the
non-working case, 217 in the working case)

With that patch applied, e1000 doesn't work.  Reverting just that
patch (shown below) from Linus's latest tree fixes things for me.

Please let me know what other debug information might be useful.

The cause of this problem might be an wrong assumption that the 'start'
member of resource structure for ioapic device has non-zero value if the
resources are assigned by firmware. The 'start' member of ioapic device
seems not to be set even though the resources were actually assigned to
ioapic devices by firmware.

I made a patch to fix this problem against 2.6.18-git18. This patch
checks command register instead of checking 'start' member to see if
the ioapic is already enabled by firmware. Unfortunately, I don't have
any system to reproduce this problem. Could you please try it and let
me know whether the problem is fixed? If the patch below fixes the
problem, I'll resend it with description and Signed-off-by.

Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige


This also fixes my problems with the built in tg3 on the dual CPU Opteron
IBM workstation.
