Can anyone tell me what the -ac patches do with respect to this problem? Also, what functionality is lost when
CONFIG_X86_IO_APICis not set, and should it improve this hd timeout/lost interrupt problem?It fixes the problem where interrupts are lost when the relevant IRQ line is disabled.
I have 3 questions regarding this issue:
1. Can you explain the problem a little bit more in detail?
2. Is there a dedicated patch solving this issue? (I don't want to apply the complete -ac patch )
3. Will this patch be in 2.4.22?
Thx & regards,
ron
