Thomas,

Does the following patch solve the problem? You need to call

     irq_set_status_flags(irq, IRQ_IS_POLLED);

when setting up the interrupt controller for those polled interrupt
lines.

Your patch works just fine, thanks.

I suppose setting the flag can be done in the corresponding irq startup function, instead of when setting up the irq controller?

Geert - I will send the patch to ataints.c implementing this as soon as Thomas' fix is merged.

Regards,

        Michael


Thanks,
