2.4.18 ooops when modprobe'ing if pci=biosirq
Hi,
My kernel ooops at boot time when using pci=biosirq.
Loading modules: 3c59x Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00009a28
printing eip:c00f7241
*pde = 00000000
Oops: 0000
[...]
Process modprobe (pid: 34, stackpage=c1ddb000)
I tried pci=biosirq because I had a :
kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:09.0. Please try using pci=biosirq.
When trying to get a Ricoh RL5c475 CardBus bridge working.
Is this a known bug ? What is the workaround ?
I'm not a kernel guru, so I don't exactly know how to give you useful infos.
If you want the full ooops output, just let me know, i'd copy it by hand.
Cheers,

That looks like a bios32 bug not a linux one

Indeed. There seemed to be a problem with IRQ routing in the BIOS. I updated it and it now works fine. Sorry for the noise.
Still I don't know why the ethernet pci cards worked fine before the BIOS update and not the CardBus bridge ...
