Doing swsusp testing in endless loop. On a P4/2.4G (ACPI=off)
on 192nd boot:
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ15.
Calibrating delay loop...
hang
Hit Reset and it rebooted OK
This is the first spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ15 seen.
I see spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 quite frequently on
varying hardware on both 2.4 and 2.5.
By design, the 8259A delivers a vector 7 when the IRQ
line is deasserted before the IRQ is serviced. This
applies to both edge and level trigger modes. A floating
"wire" or crapy chipset can pickup noise, but the driver
should handle it.
No problems seen with mainboard/cpu/ram in three months.
I dont' think it is HW, but it could be.
Also, spurious 8259A interrupts are quite recent, could
something be wrong with recent 8259A driver?

It looks like the IDE code didn't put the controller into sleep
properly.

Please don't get confused by swsusp being tested ;)
The system executes a regular boot from _reset_ at this stage.
swsusp takes over once the kernel is up and restores the
suspended kernel

Could it be that the kernel does not handle a spurious int at
this early stage in the boot process ?

It may also be BIOS SMI handling or reset handling problems as a
similar case a vendor investigated showed to be. The first thing is
to make life easier for the BIOS - make sure your kernel doesnt have
APIC support included

APIC is not in the kernel
I put
__asm__("int $0x2f");
before calibrate_delay and inside as well for testing.
spurious 8259A int15 was reported and up to 18000 counted in
/proc/interrupts, but no hang ;-)
I suppose have to settle for hardware/BIOS (IRQ misrouted/8259
init problem or timer not working) as the cause for the hang
