p2b-ds blacklisted?
Hi,
I seems that early ASUS P2B-DS boards have a hardware bug.
I finally got it working using linux 2.4.23-pre8 and the fix described in
http://www.asus.com.tw/support/english/techref/acpi/index_2.aspx
and of course the kernel argument acpi=force. The power button works and the cpu's tell me that they support C1. I don't know a way to test this.
I had the resistor at the wrong place and have tried before with the RedHat severn 3 kernel with acpi=force which did not work. I could not use the scsi controler and the acpi interrupt count growed very fast. Past changing the resistor, the acpi interrupt count was ok, but the pci ethernet card stopped working. Then I tried 2.4.23-pre1 and everything was fine.
Hope this helps.
