Here's how to tell which is the case. Enable CONFIG_DUMMY_IRQ in the kernel. Then shortly after booting, before the "nobody cared" error occurs, do this: echo 0000:00:06.0 >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ohci-pci/unbind modprobe dummy-irq irq=21 If the "nobody cared" error still occurs, this will prove that the OHCI controller isn't at fault; something else is. If it doesn't occur, this will prove that the OHCI controller is malfunctioning. (Incidentally, the output above shows that at least 200099 interrupts occurred before the "nobody cared" error. I don't know how this squares with your observation that the error always happened after 200001 interrupts.)
