Same for me. This little patchlet really doesn't cover the EB164 PC164 variants, but is mostly for me to see whether it *breaks* other folks. Formally speaking, if I can be so bold to say as much about code I didn't design and probably don't understand, as each interrupt comes in and a thread is scheduled to run but isn't running, there is an attempt to disable the interrupt source in h/w (not at the device but at h/w in the system that allows the transmission of interrupts). PCI interrupts were/are being handled by each alpha's platform PCI code. The isa code wasn't setting up enable/disable vectors. I want to add them and see if breaks people. The semantics should be the same as the PCI stuff- and, haha, even close the x86 code that this design seems to come from. -matt > On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 03:41:35AM -0800, David O'Brien wrote: > > On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 12:31:15AM -0800, Matthew Jacob wrote: > > > If folks have time, could you see whether this somewhat formalistic > > > fixup to isa.c does awful things for you: > > > > Is this needed by your PC164 by chance?
