Still results in hang at scsi0 : MESH with subsequent hde/f/h: lost interrupt messages. Installed system has never successfully completed boot with or without "irqpoll / irqfixup". It is curious though that Live CD and alternate CD both load and operate without error (no hang or stall)...this is dmesg snip from Live CD: [ 14.024619] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver [ 14.812490] scsi0 : MESH [ 18.354244] hde: max request size: 128KiB [ 18.376470] hde: 195813072 sectors (100256 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63 [ 18.378049] hde: cache flushes supported [ 18.378165] hde: [mac] hde1 hde2 hde3 hde4 [ 18.387956] hdf: max request size: 128KiB [ 18.401188] hdf: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63 [ 18.401337] hdf: cache flushes supported [ 18.401413] hdf: [mac] hdf1 hdf2 hdf3 hdf4 hdf5 hdf6 hdf7 hdf8 hdf9 hdf10 hdf11 [ 18.410500] hdh: max request size: 128KiB [ 18.430172] hdh: 195813072 sectors (100256 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63 [ 18.432317] hdh: cache flushes supported [ 18.432417] hdh: [mac] hdh1 hdh2 hdh3 hdh4 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
