Description John Doe 2004-05-12 23:57:25 UTC 
Distribution:
  Slackware-Current
Hardware Environment: 
  AthlonXP 2000+
  ASUS A7V333 MB
  512 MB RAM
  Western Digital 100GB HDD
  Seagate 200 GB HDD
  NVIDIA GeForce4 4400
  SB Audigy Platinum
Software Environment:
  Dual Boot WinXP Pro/Linux
Problem Description:
  I have been using the 2.6.x kernel series for some time.  However when I
upgraded to the 2.6.6 kernel recently, using my old configuration neither of my
hard drives will mount and my system will freeze at boot.
When booting up the machine I get these error messages:
  hda: IRQ probe failed (0xfd7a)
  hdb: IRQ probe failed (0xfd7a)
  hda: max request size: 128 KiB
followed by an *infinite* number of IRQ probe failed messages. 

Steps to reproduce:
boot my machine with a 2.6.6 kernel (no problems with 2.6.5)
Comment 1 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 2004-05-13 08:59:00 UTC 
Does booting with "acpi=noirq" parameter work?
Comment 2 John Doe 2004-05-13 10:24:14 UTC 
Yes...This does solve the problem...Although I never had to do this with any of
the previous 2.6.x kernels...This is why I thought it may be a bug...=)
