/proc/interrupts APIC edge vs. level
??What determines the -edge vs. -level choice for the APIC interrupts?? Specifically for a serial port.
I have a serial port showing IO-APIC-edge in the /proc/interrupts table. I really would like to change that to IO-APIC-level to see if that will solve a missing interrupt problem. There doesn't seem to be any parameter in "setserial" to do this and I haven't yet found anyplace in the kernel components where I can force the "level" mode.
Thanks for any clues. (I have kernel 2.6.24)

Whether interrupts are edge vs. level triggered depends entirely on the hardware you are running, AFAIK. Other than that, sorry but I don't know how to detect the behavior of your interrupt controller or change the kernel behavior in this regard. Perhaps some other monitor of this forum knows more than I do.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
