#DPATCHLEVEL=1 My laptop's motherboard set its RTL8139 NIC IRQ at a value that is not included in the range 0<=x<16 and it's not 255. GNU Mach can't handle that, and when I try a 'devprobe eth0' I get a panic due to a failed assert (irq < 16). This patch tell GNU Mach to ignore this kind of IRQ. The real solution for this problem would be an PCI IRQ Router, which is what I am going to port/implement in Mach soon. For now, this patch helps by both removing the failed assert and by noticing the user that the device is not being used for unassigned IRQ. 2006-01-28 Gianluca Guida * linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c (pci_drv_register): Skip device if we are getting an invalid IRQ >= 16 and different from 255 (it happens in some motherboard). diff -ru gnumach-vanilla/linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c gnumach-irqpciquickfix/linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c --- gnumach-vanilla/linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c 2006-01-22 16:54:41.000000000 +0100 +++ gnumach-irqpciquickfix/linux/src/drivers/net/pci-scan.c 2006-01-28 06:19:58.000000000 +0100 @@ -347,7 +347,7 @@ pci_tbl[chip_idx].name, pciaddr, irq); if ( !
