nforce2 stability on 2.6.0-test5 and 2.6.0-test9

Interesting, I'll search through lkml for that. The only thing I can say is that we're not seeing that on nForce3 w/x86_64, which is the only nforce mb I have access to, and it uses basically the same driver.
The same problem with nforce2 mobos on the latest 2.4. It hangs. The only solution is to disable local APIC in BIOS. After that it seems that there are no hangups.

Brad,
My problem is one of the infamous nforce2 hardlockups. You don't get any kernel panic or anything that useful. The system just locks up completely and has to be manually reset.
The problem is known to associate with IDE activity and is thought (as far as I know) to originate somewhere in the IDE driver.
