RE: Where do I send APIC victims?

If interrupts work with acpi=off, but otherwise don't, then:

--begin quote--

Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/
Category: Power Management
Componenet: ACPI

Please attach the output from dmidecide, available in /usr/sbin/, or
here: 
http://www.nongnu.org/dmidecode/

Please attach the output from acpidmp, available in /usr/sbin/, or in
here
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/pmtools-20010730.tar
.gz

Please attach /proc/interrupts and the dmesg output showing the failure,
if possible.

--end quote--

This answer is the same no matter who built the system.

Thanks,

Ps. Needless to say, this is a hot issue and has become hotter as more
people are enabling ACPI.   There are a number of bugs open on this
topic already with fixes in the works -- so check for dupes.

Subject: Where do I send APIC victims?


As the maintainer of via-rhine, I get bug reports that almost in their
entirety are "fixed" by turning off APIC and/or ACPI. This 
has been going
on for several months now. Every now and then, something 
promising gets
posted on LKML, but so far if anything I've seen an 
_increase_ in those bug
reports. Maybe a fix is floating around and this will be a 
non-issue RSN. I
simply can't tell, since I don't have any IO-APIC hardware to 
play with.

Instead of just telling everybody to turn off APIC, I'd like 
to point bug
reporters to the proper place and tell them what information 
they should
provide so it can get fixed for real. According to 
MAINTAINERS, Ingo Molnar
does Intel APIC, but the problems are with VIA chip sets. So 
where do I
send my users? Any takers?
