Has anyone been having IRQ mishandling problems in the later 2.5.6x kernels?
My poor IBM seems to be panicing randomly with system calls to irq functions.
1) Panic on sending a 1.3GB file from other PC to the IBM while sound blaster
was playing some mp3s
2) The IBM Panics when I turn on the PC next to it (NOT grounding problem) we
get a kernel panic with softirq and timers.
I know timers changed alot from 2.4 -> 2.5 but this problem is a showstopper
at least for me.
I first thought it was serial related but having the panic happen after
sending a large file makes me wonder if there's something broken with timers
and interrupt handling (whos not releasing that timer!).
Thanks,
Shawn.
