Summary : When I started to listen to a USB serial GPS receiver, the interrupts of my sata disk were blocked until reboot :( Switching in the BIOS from 'APIC disabled' to 'APIC enabled' made the problem disappear.

If it is a bug (what I also believe) it is not a new one : Before installing 2.6.37-20-desktop (opensuse 11.4) on this new hardware, I had the same problem with 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop (opensuse 11.2) and with 2.6.22.18-0.2-default (opensuse 10.3) The only interesting file where I find the word 'XT-PIC' is arch/alpha/kernel/irq_i8259.c Best regards Philippe -- Philippe De Muyter +32 2 6101532 Macq SA rue de l'Aeronef 2 B-1140 Bruxelles -- 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
