Hi,

I am experiencing system hardlocks under the following conditions:
- Hardware:
  - Tyan Thunder K7 w/ 2x Athlon MP 1.2GHz (5x PCI)
  - 2x Onboard Adaptec 7899P SCSI adapter
        IRQ 16, IRQ 17
  - 2x Onboard 3Com 3C982 100Mb 32bit PCI NIC
          IRQ 18, IRC 19
  - 1x National Semiconductor DP83820 1000Mb 64bit PCI NIC
        IRQ 16
  - 2x Promise Ultra 133TX2 PDC20269
    IRQ 16, IRQ 17
- Software:
  - Linux 2.4.21-pre5:
          CONFIG_IDE=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
        CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
        CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y
        CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
        CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y

When one of the Promise controllers is sharing the same IRQ with one of
the NICs (don't matter which, I tried all) and data is copied *to* the
machine over the network, the system deadlocks. When data is copied
*from* the system over the network, it works all ok. Unfortunately the
system BIOS doesn't give me any possibility of setting the IRQ
channels by hand, so all I can do is put the cards into other slots.

Ah, at boot time the kernel spits out this message:
--8<--
I/O APIC: AMD Errata #22 may be present. In the event of instability try
: booting with the "noapic" option.
--8<--
I've not yet tried that, but will do now.
