From the nforce2-apictack-rd-2.6.0.patch: /* + * Athlon nforce2 R.D. + * preset timer ack mode if desired + * e.g. static int apic_timerack = 2;
From the nforce2-ioapic-rd-2.6.0.patch +#if defined(CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT) && defined(CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC) + /* for nforce2 try vector 0 on pin0 + * Note 8259a is already masked, also by default + * the io_apic_set_pci_routing call disables the 8259 irq 0 + * so we must be connected directly to the 8254 timer if this works + * Note2: this violates the above comment re Subtle but works! + */
