(Should I file under irqbalance?) No. Most probably, it's a kernel bug. It could be a bug somewhere else which triggers this one. Historically, such bugs didn't occur when irqbalance was disabled, but this does not automatically mean that it's irqbalance itself which is buggy. > http://ur1.ca/iawmi -> http://paste.fedoraproject.org/139547/00617141 Reading your dmesg dump, I'm not convinced that the irq handler is what causes you problems. Some years ago, the code was modified that the missing interrupt was ACKed, thus letting the machine proceed. However, you have a seriously segfaulting browser (firefox?) which corrupts the memory. The general protection fault could even be caused by a null pointer dereference. I guess that's the problem. In addition, are you at F22? Your dmesg says you're using a 3.17.0-0.rc7.git2.1.fc22.x86_64 kernel. When compiling a kernel source rpm meant for F22 on a F20 system, the package would be tagged fc20. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
