Regarding enabling IOAPIC on Intel Dual core processor based boards

Hi,

 We are using Freebsd6.2 bases OS on our LV 5200 Series Intel Dual Core Xeo=
n
bases processor(Wolfdale-DP-ULV). In the carrier board hosting the processo=
r
we have BCM5703 controller.
Currently we are using only one core in 32 bit mode and planning to use dua=
l
core where we need to enable IOAPIC. When IOAPIC is not enabled I see the
bcm/bge driver is attached to IRQ10 and everything works fine, but when I
enable IOAPIC I still see the boot msgs show that bge is attached to irq10
but the Broadcom controller does not come up. I found interrupt storm on
irq17 ( remember without IOAPIC enable there are not IRQ assignments beyond
IRQ16),looks like the controller is interrupting on 17 while driver waits o=
n
10.

  When I stop and loader and assign it manually using config command "set
hw.pci8.9.INTA.irq=3D=9417=94" , everything works fine. Would be great if s=
ome one
can throw some light on this IRQ mapping when IOAPIC is enabled and possibl=
e
fix ( Software or BIOS?)

Thanks,
Ravi
