punkid,

That shows a number of interesting features.
1. Your system is indeed not using its APIC but maybe when it boots properly the kernel will switch
2. There are no SATA devices listed.

You may want to add lapic to your kernel line to help fix 1.

If we proceed on the assumption that the problem is IRQ related rather than driver related, then adding irqpoll to the kernel line may get you going. Look those options up in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for all the details

You're right, i ran cat /proc/interrupts under my current system (kernel-2.6.13), it showed :

Code:

           CPU0
  0:    1409058    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:       1648    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  7:          1    IO-APIC-edge  parport0
  9:          0   IO-APIC-level  acpi
 12:        111    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
 14:         63    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
 16:     206091   IO-APIC-level  eth0, nvidia
 17:      31406   IO-APIC-level  libata
 18:          2   IO-APIC-level  ehci_hcd:usb1
 19:      28917   IO-APIC-level  ohci_hcd:usb2
 20:      47136   IO-APIC-level  NVidia CK804
NMI:          0
LOC:    1408988
ERR:          0
MIS:          0


To fix it, i tried both appending lapic to the kernel line and enabling Local APIC support on uniprocessors options in kernel config. Then it use APIC instead, but still no trace of sata devices.

I also added the irqpoll, didnt get me going further :( here's the output after appending lapic and irqpoll.

Code:

           CPU0
  0:        284    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:         44    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  9:          0 IO-APIC-fasteoi  acpi
 12:        111    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
 14:         11    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
NMI:          0
LOC:      10964
ERR:          0
MIS:          0

punkid,

As you are using a genkernel made kernel, add doscsi to the kernel command line or it will not load the SCSI things.
