Disabling IRQ #11
 

Hi,
I just upgraded to 2.6.8 because I've had this same problem for while already. My machine suddenly starts lagging and /dev/hde stops working after that. I get something like this with dmesg:

Disabling IRQ #11

On boot I get something like this

Sorry for long post, I would have put dmesg to my homepage but all my passwords are in /dev/hde and I can't access them now. My motherboard is EPOX 8rda3+

Looks like a hardware problem. Most probably your HD is broken.

disable dma for that drive. seems like a bug in the kernel for me. what does acpi say about irq's?

sl mritch.

I have acpi disabled. Here's info about interrupts:

And btw I didn't mention. This problem doesn't occur on every boot. I can sometimes use computer for days before I get this error again, and then it comes several times in short time. I've tried disabling usb and acpi but it didn't help.

hde1 seems to work fine with 2.4 kernel (well... I've tested only 2 hours so I can't be sure), so maybe it's not hardware problem...
I'll try disabling dma

dma maybe isn't the issue here. you've done right deaktivating usb, that's the thing i'd recommend. the "nobody cared" is iirc about something not handled by the bios = irq not assigned.

i don't know how stable sata is in 2.6 for your device so you may be at a better address posting this to http://www.tux.org/lkml/ .

another thing. do you have the option to unmask interrupts with that drive? (hdparm -u /dev/hde - read the hdparm manpage before!)

i'd say this is some prob with the interrupt assignment. so changing the used interrupt of the sata controller may fix that. (try another pci slot?)
