Hi,
We are a company which has made a small PCI card for data acquisition which we
use in our radar acquisition systems.

Our 'current' shipping system is 2.2.8+CAM (blerg :) and I have been attempting
to validate 4.x for use, but I have found an 'interesting' interaction with a
SuperMicro P6SBS motherboard..

It seems that no interrupts are being delivered, so the card transfers no data
:(

The same version of FreeBSD (4.1-REL) on a SuperMicro P6SBU (single channel
instead of dual) and a Via Apollo MVP3 based Epox board work fine..

I have tried 2 P6SBS motherboards and they both have the same symptoms..
Everything else works (21443 network card, IDE, video etc etc), even the custom
cards non interrupt related functionality is fine.

This motherboard DID work with 4.0-REL, so basically I'm asking what the heck
changed between 4.0 and 4.1 PCI IRQ wise :)
