The above assumption was checked by mounting the local file system. It is
true, no interrupts are coming from the Ethernet card inserted in slots ##
1,2,3,6 after kernel initialization.
It should be a kernel BUG, since the same card in same slot is working
before kernel starts (Etherboot is working excellent). In order to make a
fair comparison I tested the latest 2.5.15 kernel too (with acpismp=force).
The result was the same.
Again, it is Intel E7500 chipset, which seems to have some problems @ Linux.
I tried to search through this mail list, but did not find complaints about
missing PCI interrupts on this platform.
Any comments gurus can make?
