Re: MP interrupt problems with PRIMERGY RX300

Interesting, ioapic_dump shows:
ioapic1: dump8 
f163<vector=63,delmode=1,pending,actlo,irrpending,level,dest=0> 
6000000<target=6>
That's the interrupt from the iop. Continuing (many times) from the break 
on schedcpu and dumping the ioapics shows the probe of the devices on the 
atapibus and the interrupt lost messages but the interrupts for the rccide0 
never show as pending.
