Dear developers, I have been having problems that are starting to accumulate on my main Desktop and I decided to ask here for help, since I perceive that the majority (not all, of course) of developers are likely to use recent, Intel-based systems for their x86-64 work. My desktop has an AMD Phenon II X4 910 processor and a corresponding chipset (I can provide many, many details). Before I go on describing the problems that I have, I want to say that I can bisect the kernel, apply patches and give feedback for the problems that I am seeing. The problems that I am seeing are the following: * I have never been able to boot this computer of mine without the option irqpoll---otherwise, I get the nobody cared message. I just didn't pay much attention, despite me booting with many different kernels and distributions. With a particular Fedora, I reported the problem, but It was coalesced with many other "nobody cared" messages and once that particular Fedora release was EOL'ed, the bug report was closed. * Besides the previous problem, starting with Debian's kernel 4.5, I am seeing bazillion messages like the following: (...)

I tested this with Ubuntu's pre-compiled/unpatched kernel 4.5-rc1 and I also get this problem, but with slightly different messages (which I guess are due to debugging being enabled): (...)

I reported the problem above at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120251 in June, when I was running Debian's kernel 4.6. I included many details there about my hardware configuration, but, of course, I can copy them here in email for convenience. * Besides *both* problems listed above, starting with Debian's kernel 4.8, I am seeing a very strange problem: when I was scanning some documents on my (USB) HP PSC 1610, it *always* hangs within about 15% of the work done. I discovered this while, as a single father, scanning some spiderman drawings to let my 4 y.o. boy, so that he could paint on them. This is 100% reproducible with kernel 4.8 and, with kernel 4.7 (dropped from Debian's next release), I don't have this 3rd problem. Once again, I can bisect the kernel, apply patches and give feedback for the problems that I am seeing. Just let me know what is necessary and I will do what I'm instructed. Please, keep me CC'ed as I'm not currently subscribed to the mailing lists. Also, feel free to drop/adjust the list of recipients as appropriate.
