That is, without "noapic" but *with* firewire_ohci? Good.

The fingers seem to point to firewire_ohci or "noapic". That firewire stack is new, so a bug there is very believable. Changing IRQ routing by not using the APIC is probably closest to the root cause of the problem. > However, reverting that patch _helped_ for me > previously (with "noapic").

With three factors uncovered *so far* with this problem, the root cause still not clear to me. But I'd guess it relates to the way you disabled APIC IRQ routing. - Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
