AMD dual-core (nVidia chipset) STILL needs /!NOD with 3.11!?

Description

My Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe machine (nVidia) still needs /!NOD to enable the LSILogic SCSI adapter. I've tried REMAPping the SCSI adapter's IRQs, but either I'm doing it wrong or ACPI 3.11 still isn't up to the task.

Replying to pasha:

I have almost always needed /!NOD -- except with 3.07, I think. I have tried every version since 3.0, if not earlier.

But I thought that ACPI 3.11 was supposed to handle the peculiarities of the nVidia chipset better. I thought I had read somewhere that the fact that /!NOD solves many problems with the nVidia chipset was not what that switch was intended to do and that a future version (3.11, I thought) would do things the right way.

In summary, it works with /!NOD, but I was expecting that there would now be a new switch that would render /!NOD unnecessary.

Sorry to jump in but having the Asus M2N mainboard, nForce430/MCP61 chipset I can confirm that /!NOD is required to boot.

I have not met a version of ACPI that does not require that switch with this chipset. Trying to boot without that switch results in the system failing to boot - gets stuck after loading usbehcd.sys, usbohcd.sys is displayed onscreen (using ALTF2ON.$$$ to view drivers loading). If I REM the usbohcd.sys line then the system gets stuck with the next usb basedev line - usbd.sys.

Guess I could REM the usbehcd.sys line and see if the system will boot... Will report back on this.

I do know that the nForce4 chipset - slightly earlier nVidia chipset, does not require the /!NOD swich with ACPI V3.11 and all seems to work fine.
