That's indeed probable, but if enough people report the same problems, they might still end up looking into it. > Well in http://via8251.la-evento.com/index.html > > > please tell me that I'm not violating any rule about the linux-kernel list > putting this link :-S > > > claims that the VT8251 are supported in 2.6.20. As always you nned to see > the official place .... :-( That's quite a bold claim considering that the VT8251 includes many different functions (PATA, SATA, USB, SMBus...) and can be configured differently on different motherboards. Maybe most functions are supposedly supported as of 2.6.20, but it doesn't mean everything works for everyone, as you are experiencing yourself. > > *If* the VT8251 needs the VIA IRQ quirk, then the attached patch may > > help.

If it's not a VIA IRQ problem, then there's nothing more I can do, sorry. Someone else will have to look into the problem. Out of curiosity, with my patch applied, did you see any "VIA VLink IRQ fixup" messages on the console? -- Jean Delvare Suse L3
