You might want to talk to David Greenman about this one; he might have some ideas. You might also want to send the 'mptable' output to the SMP folks; they may have some ideas about interrupt routing that might shed some light on the situation. If you have time to tinker with the machine at all, it'd be very educational to add some debugging to the PCI interrupt handling code to see what's actually going on. A good start would be the interrupt handler for the 'fxp' device. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
