I've tested "irqfixup" in the same situations. The behavior is just the same as irqpoll: it fixes my machines, through 2.6.38. From .39 on, it doesn't catch the bad irq. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.la

I have tried looking for reports like this, in the BTS's of other major distros. I don't see any -- it may be too early, as not many have shipped a release with 2.6.39+, yet. I have seen one user mention this problem, outside a BTS. Interestingly, their machine needs "irqpoll" for a quite differe

Things are a bit more complicated than I thought, and you should disregard what I said in comments 12, 13, and 14. Apologies. The regression appears dependent on the kernel configuration. As I was building test images, I was shutting off many drivers and options that I hoped were irrelevant , to
