IO-APIC + timer doesn't work - 2.6.20-rc5 on abit KN9-Ultra bios 1.6

[Eamonn Hamilton]

Hi,

I can't get any kernel up to 2.6.20-rc5 to boot without using noapic on
an ABIT KN9-Ultra with a dual-core Athlon.

I booted with apic=debug as suggested and got the following :

ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs
.. TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=0 apic2=-1 pin2=-1
.. MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
... trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8252A ... failed
... trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ ... failed
... trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ ... failed :(

The bios is the latest, although in various posts on the web it would
appear this occurs in older versions also.

What can I do to help resolve this?

Cheers,
Eamonn

Hi,

I've also just found bug #7820 on bugzilla which has a patch which may
address this issue from Ingo.

I'll give that a shot as well.

Yes, that patch workaround the problem. But it is just a workaround.
It would be much helpful to others by fixing the original problem.

Hi,

I didn't get a chance to try the -mm patch, but booting with acpi=off
works - other than no acpi, of course :)

What now?

Cheers,
Eamonn

Well, this should be ACPI interrupt configure issue.
Please feel free to enter a bug on bugzilla.kernel.org.
And, post acpidump output, /proc/interrupts ,lspci -vvx, dmesg for
(acpi=off ) there.

Thanks,
Luming
