Re: 2.6.19 and up to 2.6.20-rc2 Ethernet problems x86_64

..same problem with 2.6.20-rc3. Last worked with 
2.6.19-rc6-git12, so it was 2.6.19 where it failed.

Attaching both case1 normal, case2 acpi=noirq. With acpi=noirq ethernet 
doesn't get configured, route -n says it's an Unsupported operation, 
ifconfig only shows for localhost, ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.5 also 
complains of a config error.

It seems that the "acpi=noirq" (and probably also the acpi=off) case
is simply an additional broken case, not a success case to compare to.

The thing we really want to compare is dmesg and /proc/interrupts
from 2.6.19-rc6-git12, and the broken current release.
Perhaps you can put that info in the bug report when you file it.

thanks,
