Distro: OpenSuSE 10.2 Kernel: 2.6.18.2-34-default Driver: sym53c8xx
My old 2469 motherboard broke, so I bought a new one, w/o the built-in Adaptec SCSI, but w/ a Symbios 53C896... so everything is the same as what worked last week, except SCSI.
Upon driver load, it goes nuts and takes a few Ethernet devices down at the same time.
First, I need to boot w/ "noapic" or the system will hang during boot. The hangs occur when the drivers for the other devices (that it shares interrupts with) load.
The LSI BIOS sees the SCSI drives w/o problem.
When the driver loads, the first thing it does is hose the Ethernet (on IRQs 10 and 11... which is doesn't use... it uses either 5 or 9): ... Any ideas?
IIRC, sym 895 & 896 chips do not share nicely, and prefer to use INT 10 or 11 over 9. Can you disable the sharing of the interrupts it wants in your motherboard BIOS, or at least force it off of 9?
No... the mobo BIOS has no interrupt settings at all... and the Ethernet is built-in. Any ideas? Thanks! Chris
