Re: [Xen-devel] xen2.0.3 and aic79xx

[Keir Fraser <Keir.Fraser@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not good news. We need to run a full ACPI interpreter to be able to
set up IRQ routing on your chipset, but we don't yet have full ACPI
support. We intend to get this sorted out in the next month or so: it
is a very high priority on our todo list.

We had exactly the same problem as you with our latest test machine --
no chance that current Xen will work on it, and it seems the hardware
is bleeding edge even for vanilla Linux (we get loads of logging from
the kernel which is just lines of hex numbers, so presumably using a
code path with debugging code still in it).

You might get the system working without the SCSI controller
configured, but that is probably not much use to you. :-)

Exactly, I get two slightliy different messages like ACPI: PCI Interrupt=20
blah blah -> GSI (level,low) -> IRQ 9 before the aic79xx message.

Do you have got an idea what's going wrong?
