Hi people ! On 2.6.26.3 I'm using ACPI and the Atlas driver (drivers/input/misc/atlas_btns.c), which uses the ASIM0000 acpi device. Most of the time this works great. That is, I can press 20 or 50 times the button and it always works, I always get a scan-code report via the input subsystem. However, occossianelly my box hangs. It's a hard lock, e.g. the blinking cursor in X won't work, the keyboard won't work. The box is just completely locked up for a period of time. Eventually it recovers. When I now look at "dmesg", I see this: ##HS acpi_atlas_button_handler() ##HS acpi_atlas_button_handler() ##HS acpi_atlas_button_handler() ##HS acpi_atlas_button_handler() irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: P 2.6.26.3 #12 [<c012f063>] __report_bad_irq+0x24/0x69 [<c012f06a>] __report_bad_irq+0x2b/0x69 [<c012f257>] note_interrupt+0x1af/0x1e4 [<c01cbc97>] acpi_irq+0xb/0x1c [<c012e983>] handle_IRQ_event+0x1a/0x3f [<c012f917>] handle_level_irq+0x63/0x84 [<c01046d0>] do_IRQ+0x4b/0x60 [<c010320f>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 [<c01d007b>] acpi_ds_init_aml_walk+0xb2/0xfe [<c0118f03>] __do_softirq+0x2c/0x75 [<c0118f6e>] do_softirq+0x22/0x26 [<c01191ea>] irq_exit+0x25/0x53 [<c01046d5>] do_IRQ+0x50/0x60 [<c010320f>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 [<c01e90a7>] acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x16d/0x1da [<c02553f6>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x49/0x77 [<c02553ad>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x0/0x77 [<c010176c>] cpu_idle+0x48/0x61 ======================= handlers: [<c01cbc8c>] (acpi_irq+0x0/0x1c) Disabling IRQ #9 BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 136s!
