I do have Via KT800 board with Marvel and that just desn't work when
'noapic' is in effect. Haven't investigated that too much (i do
remember that the Via integrated 10/100 didn't work either while
noapci).

The good news (maybe) being that the -27 level code might be working
w/o defining 'noapic' for NForce3. I did have mystical hangs with the
beta-level kernels while running it, but that might have been the
'redhat integrated forcedeth code' as i ran that box with that too. I
didn't have time for unstable box and i reverted to my own kernels.

It's the machine which is used to build all Tao/x86-64 updates, so i
don't want to find it 'dead while i try to reach it out of home and
needing to build something quickly'.


I do remember it hanging w/ and w/o 'noapic' tho after day or two of
uptime and being absolutely stable after getting back to my own
codebase.


So the already mentioned 2.4.21-27.300.EC might get your ethernet
working. That kernel is out soonish (after build i do need to test a
little more myself tho). Few hours or so.

I think i'll start to spam mailing list when ever i do have something
new on this side as there seems to be enought users using *EC* line of
kernels.
