Subject: IRQ: Nobody cared (2.6.19.1)
Hi all,
Forwarded to lkml as suggested by Alan Stern. Please copy any replies to
me, as I'm not on the list (too much traffic, sorry!).

Dmesg boot log attached. Any suggestions gratefully received.
It seems a bit drastic to disable a whole IRQ if it receives spurious
interrupts that are not claimed by any driver. That could kill a machine
if the IRQ is used for something critical like disks.
I'd rather not boot without ACPI if possible, as I don't want to lose
power saving. I'm not sure about the negative consequences of booting with
acpi=noirq or noapic, so I haven't tried that yet.
Cheers, Chris.
