Similar symptoms here with regular 32-bit kernel. Realtime (-rt) 32-bit kernel still gives "irq 18 nobody cares try irqpoll" message but works even without irqpoll option.
irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) ** Attachment added: "dmesg output after -rt kernel boot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16301735/dmesg.rt-hardy.log -- 2.6.24-12 hardy kernel requires irqpoll option to recognize HDD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204916 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
