If you want another "rubbish" oppinion, then I think it is either your kernel
config or your chipset that is causing the trouble.
you said you have an sis chipset. In the past (about 1 to maybe 2 years maybe)
sis chipset were known to be not really working well with linux.
For example I had trouble with two pc's having a sis chipset (diffrent ones!).
on the first pc std. ethernet nics like 3com, intel, etc. was not working
(even not listed in lcpci when acpi was on, without acpi there were listed
but not working). On the other we had a lot of trouble to get a t1/e1 telco
pri card running, which needs 1000 interrupts/sec, which was obvously to much
for the sis chipset wih an 1Ghz CPU (at least with linux)... on a bulk 333mhz
system with an intel chipset there was no interrupt problems at all.
but that are only my 50 cents :)
btw. before getting unpolite, what about sending your kernel config to the
list, so that someone has a chance to reproduce that... until now nobody get
enough information from you to really help. and don't say ian hasn't tried to
help.
and why don't you simply try a std. xen kernel config and maybe "acpi=off"?
If this works with your pc, then it's time to see why your own config is not
working or what else the problem could be.
if it also doesn't work, then it's probably something else, but at least it is
sure that there were no stupid mistakes in the kernel config.
You want something, do something...
