Michael, Is is really necessary to get rid of the HT1000 patch? commit e3008dedff4bdc96a5f67224cd3d8d12237082a0 Author: Andy Gospodarek <andy@...yhouse.net> Date: Thu May 10 22:58:57 2007 -0700 PCI: disable MSI by default on systems with Serverworks HT1000 chips This patch was designed to address tg3 and bnx2 messages printed on systems with HT1000 chips IIRC. Are we going back to those messages on bnx2 or is there a workaround in that driver needed too? -andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
