    Hi all,

    Just a quick note saying I've been running my nforce2 for nearly four
    days with considerable I/O and no trouble.

    Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2700+
    MB: ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
    APCI: Turned off in kernel config
    Boot params: acpi=off noapic
    Kernel: 2.6.0-test11-bk7 + disconnect quirk patch

    I still have a considerable number of spurious IRQs (but < 1%
    compared to IRQ0 / LINT). I'm not running the timer patch
    at all.

    I will try with latest bk kernel + disconnect + acpi compiled in.

    Questions.

    1) Does anybody know the state of play ala 2.6.0 release and which
    patches we can get in?

    2) If the local apic is running is it necessary to use the 8254 as a
    timer?

    3) Does anybody, anywhere, have any nvidia documentation and
    is it worth trying to bully them into releasing some?

    Cheers,

    Ross
