General Information: ==================== The same problem impacts system HP Compaq SR1834NX with ASUS A8AE-LE mainboard. Kernel version is 2.6.12-10-386. For this system boot parameter "noapictimer" is needed so that clock does not run at 2x. Boot parameter "irqpoll" is needed/used so that eth0 speed is acceptable. Note that slow eth0 speed was caused by the use of the "noapictimer" boot parameter. USE OF "irqpoll" PARAMETER CAUSES SYSTEM TO LOCK AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF *CD* USE. The CD works fine without the irqpoll parameter but any activity over eth0 is very slow without irqpoll. The mainboard uses the HP version of Phoenix Award BIOS 3.14 installed. This is latest version available as of 6 May 2006. [1.] One line summary of the problem: ===================================== kernel: hdc: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) [2.] Full description of the problem/report: ============================================ The above messages appear in the kern.log. The CDROM will work for a few minutes of use then the system will lock. Keyboard will not respond. Reboot is required.

Boot parameter "irqpoll" is needed/used so that eth0 speed is acceptable. Note that slow eth0 speed was caused by the use of the "noapictimer" boot parameter. USE OF "irqpoll" PARAMETER CAUSES SYSTEM TO LOCK AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF USE. The CD works fine without the irqpoll parameter but any activity over eth0 is very slow without irqpoll. The mainboard uses the HP version of Phoenix Award BIOS 3.14 installed. This is latest version available as of 6 May 2006.
Maybe my comments on this bug are misdirected. I think my real problem is that the Ubuntu-5.10 2.6.12-10 (i386) kernel causes the clock to run at 2x and cpu to run at 50% when "idle" (with mainboard ASUS A8AE-LE). This problem can be "fixed" by adding boot parameter "noapictimer" but this results in poor irq routings which in turn result in other performance issues. See following. ======================================== CASE 1 - kernel parameters: none result: clock runs at 2x and cpu runs at 50% when "idle" eth0 speed OK (ssh, Samba, internet) CD functions OK guest@hp-3500:~$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 127953 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 101 IO-APIC-edge i8042 7: 1 IO-APIC-edge parport0 8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 1 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 2522 IO-APIC-edge i8042 15: 722 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 1024 IO-APIC-level ATI IXP 19: 6221 IO-APIC-level ohci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb2, ehci_hcd:usb3 20: 2 IO-APIC-level ohci1394 21: 45 IO-APIC-level eth0 22: 9024 IO-APIC-level libata NMI: 0 LOC: 63738 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ======================================== CASE 2 - kernel parameters: noapictimer result: clock/cpu OK eth0 slow (ssh, Samba, internet) CD functions OK guest@hp-3500:~$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 89135 XT-PIC timer 1: 94 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 1153 XT-PIC ATI IXP, ohci1394 7: 2 XT-PIC parport0 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 1 XT-PIC acpi 11: 12077 XT-PIC libata, ohci_hcd:usb1, ohci_hcd:usb2, ehci_hcd:usb3, eth0 12: 1057 XT-PIC i8042 15: 416 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 88680 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ======================================== CASE 3 - kernel parameters: noapictimer irqfixup result: clock/cpu OK eth0 slow (ssh, Samba, internet) CD functions OK Same interrupt assignments as in case 2 ======================================== CASE 4 - kernel parameters: noapictimer irqpoll result: clock/cpu OK eth0 OK (ssh, Samba, internet) CD use locks PC Same interrupt assignments as in case 2 kern.log messages: hdc: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01)
To close my comments on this bug: I just booted my computer with the dapper-live-i386.iso Flight 7 which includes the ubuntu version kernel 2.6.15-21-386. Each device was assigned its own IRQ. No boot parameters were requried. All appears to be working properly. My hardware: system = Compaq SR1834NX mainboard = ASUS A8AE-LE cpu = AMD Athlon 3500 bios = Phoenix AwardBios v. 3.14 video = ATI Xpress 200 Thanks to the kernel team making the changes needed to fully support this hardware!
Hmm, my kernel ist a vanilla kernel, but your additions always refer to vendor patched kernels.
Any update on thie problem, have you tested with recent kernels/distros? Thanks.
