Description mrmailer 2003-12-15 00:08:21 UTC

fedora core 1
Unless I put acpi=off, locks machine with this error
ACPI: subsystem revision 20031002
spurious 8259A interrupt:IRQ 7

bios revision 1.50(kam)-latest from compaq.

Comment 1 Len Brown 2003-12-15 09:10:41 UTC

Does it work with pci=noacpi?
Can you attach the resulting dmesg?

Can you try the latest ACPI patch against 2.6.0?
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6.0-
test11/

Can you try 2.4.23?

Please attach the output from acpidmp, available in /usr/sbin/, or in pmtools:

thanks,

Comment 2 Len Brown 2003-12-15 14:11:44 UTC

another thing to try -- does booting with "nolapic" help?

Comment 3 mrmailer 2003-12-22 09:14:33 UTC

nolapic makes it work with test9.

with test11, and 2.6 final, nolapic allows a boot, but when you start pcmcia
with wpc11 in, it locks.

Comment 4 mrmailer 2003-12-22 20:19:55 UTC

ok, you can get around it and use acpi if you append

nolapic pci=noacpi 

to boot parameters.

Comment 5 Len Brown 2004-04-23 20:38:23 UTC

Please test 2.6.5 and let me know if nolapic and pci=noacpi are still both necessary. 
 
My expectation is that nolapic is still necessary, and that we should look into 
making that automatic, so 
 
Please attach the output from dmidecode, available in /usr/sbin/, or here:

or

Comment 6 Len Brown 2004-04-28 20:03:48 UTC

please test the patch in bug 2044

thanks,
