Is someone able to confirm that 2.6.18-rc1-mm2 works OK? In that kernel I did a desperation reversion of the offending patches (revert-VIA-quirk-fixup-additional-PCI-IDs.patch and revert-PCI-quirk-VIA-IRQ-fixup-should-only-run-for-VIA-southbridges.patch). Guys, this is a really serious failure but afaict nobody is working on it and generally nothing at all is happening. How do we fix all this? (Who owns it?)
