Thanks for that Andrew, I'll try the latest CVS version in a while,
I'm currently having trouble getting 2.6.13 booting at the moment...
I'll have a look to see if your modification are ok once I've got that
booting.
Back to the other IRQ problem...
I've done some more testing. I've now tested it on 2 servers which
have similar, but not exactly the same, hardware. It occurs on our HP
Proliant ML350 G4 and our HP Proliant ML370 G4.
The problem only seems to occur on bootup from a poweroff. If I
reboot, it then starts working correctly until I power it off.
2 different print outs to /var/log/messages depending on if the card
has a CI or not.

Jul 15 14:08:49 bloodhound kernel: Disabling IRQ #11
So Far we've tested...
Nexus-S = Works
Nova-S = Problem Occurs
Nova-S CI = Works
Nexus-S & Nova-S CI = Problem Occurs
Nexus-S & Nova-S CI & Nova-S = Problem Occurs
Nova-S & Nova-S CI = Problem Occurs
Nova-S & Nova-S = Problem Occurs
Note: Nova-S is a different card without the CI connector not just a
Nova-S CI with the CI unplugged.
If I watch /proc/interrupts when I start vlc the NMI turns to 1 and
then IRQ 11 increases at a huge rate. The "Disabling IRQ 11" occurs
roughly 2 seconds after the NMI is generated. Looking at the kernel
source an IRQ is disabled like this if more that 99,900 interrupts out
of 100,000 are not handled.
This is the output on the ML370...
CPU0
0: 715364 XT-PIC timer
1: 530 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
9: 1 XT-PIC acpi
10: 11805 XT-PIC ioc0, ioc1, saa7146 (0), saa7146 (1),

uhci_hcd:usb5, eth0
12: 101 XT-PIC i8042
14: 5826 XT-PIC ide0
NMI: 1
ERR: 2
The ML350 has the 2 saa7146 cards on IRQ 11 instead...
I've also tried using VLC displaying the picture on the server and
thus not using any other devices and I get the error again.
Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or where I should look next?
Thanks alot!
