Hi,


I can't confirm that, it's working perfectly here.

root:~# lspci -v -s 00:12.0

It's an Asus A7V8X board connected to a nortel baystack 350 switch, and
the kernel is built with ACPI, local APIC and IO-APIC (which are known
for breaking stuff on occasion, although have always worked flawlessly
here) and highmem (2Gb installed). See if your user can try booting with
"pci=noapic" or "acpi=off" or "noapic", it should probably help.

Now, booting back to 2.6.0-test5 ;)


Cheers,

Nuno
