Description David Lawrence 2003-08-04 21:37:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
Loaded Severn Beta 1 on a HP xw6000 workstation. When initializing the Adaptec
cards it complains that no IRQs are found and hangs during boot process. If
booting with acpi=off it will continue to boot normally. Here is the lspci output.

Changing IRQs in BIOS configuration has not effect

The same system works with RH9 stock kernel.

Can you post the output of 'acpidmp' and 'dmidecode'?
Comment 2 Len Brown 2003-08-05 18:28:50 UTC 
Does it boot if you use just pci=noacpi ?
Comment 3 Len Brown 2003-08-12 03:38:59 UTC 
Please verify that the system has the latest BIOS.  Looks like you can create a BIOS 
1.12 install floppy from the comfort of your local linux box: 
 
http://h20004.www2.hp.com/soar_rnotes/bsdmatrix/matrix295779en_US.html#BIOS 
 
Apparently BIOS 1.15 would entail using windows in some form... 
 
If it still fails with the latest BIOS, it would be great if you can capture the failed boot 
messages via serial console. 
 
BTW. my SE7505VB2 seems to run beta1 just fine -- it doesn't have an AIC boot disk, 
but has 5 PCI NICs that all work.
Comment 4 Dave Jones 2003-11-03 17:25:00 UTC 
PCI IRQ routing code changed dramatically between test1 and what we
have now. I'll lay odds on that this is fixed.
Comment 5 Len Brown 2004-03-24 23:07:09 UTC 
no response in 7 months -- close?
