Its done as follow....

Run in the cmd:

root@darkstar:~# /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh

Get the output of the script and run it...

root@darkstar:~# mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.37.6 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda2 -m usbhid:ehci-hcd:uhci-hcd:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz

It will generate the initrd file under /boot

Now go under lilo and add in a new line.... Here is an example of what I have.... In your case the root partition might change, etc...


# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.37.6
initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
root = /dev/sda2
label = Linux-G
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Than run lilo from the command line.

This is just an example. do not copy and paste!

Reboot and test.

Good Luck.
I am trying to do that but I have another problem and I posted it here:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4/#post4406602
Please see if you can help me further with this.

Ok, that is settled then ethPCI is the e1000 ethernet card.

It seems Shifting to Generic kernel from Huge has resolved the problem.
I have not received any error so far in one day. Thanks for all the help guys you are awesome

Question
Sorry guys I have to reactivate this thread. The problem has started again.
After I switched to Generic Kernel it worked OK for a day but now I am getting the same error "Disabling IRQ #19"
Is there anyway I can find out what is causing this issue ? Is it a driver issue ? Also I would like to know under what condition kernel disables IRQs ?

Here is the syslog:
Code:

...
Do you think that line highlighted in red above is related to this problem. How can I boot with 'irqpoll' option ?
Thanks for any further advice.

You can boot with that option by editing '/etc/lilo.conf' and adding it the the append line, inside the quotes. Then you run 'lilo' as root to have it apply the settings.

Just wanted to confirm that adding "irqpoll" option has finally solved my problem.
Although I have not tested it on Huge kernel but since generic kernel is recommended, so I don't have any reason to test it.
Thanks everyone

Good news. However, I would call this a workaround rather than a solution. If you get a chance to identify the responsible driver, a ticket on bugzilla.kernel.org might be in order.

Can you shed more light how I can do that ?

This is becoming extremely frustrating as the problem has started happening again now.
The worst thing is that I have not been able to detect a pattern or a clue that would help to find out what causes this problem.
I don't know what causes the kernel to disable an IRQ. I am clueless

I have "irqpoll" option in lilo.conf and I ran lilo with this setting in place and it worked momentarily. Strangely in syslog I still see the suggesion for "irqpoll":
Code:

there is no fixed recipe, but maybe you can remove devices from your pci bus (either physically or maybe via BIOS?) and see which one is linked to the issue. Then, by association, you can name a candidate that should have handled the irq.

Of course, hardware issues can be more complex, but it might be a starting point.

Another approach might be to blame the e1000 driver straight away since it is listed in the call trace, create a bugzilla ticket prio high and see what happens. ;-)

Also if this is a kernel related issue which could be try to move a kernel version up or down to see if that helps... Though I got a feeling this issue will remain.

Yes I updated the bios to the latest version but it did not make any difference.

Strangely enough, I have a new netbook and it says the same thing on boot or shutdown "Disabling IRQ #19". It may be related to the mouse I plug into the USB controller using IRQ 19.

Actually, it's not the mouse, it happens because of the experimental atl1c driver. The driver is unstable and causes some strange stuff, like bogus transfer data, and disables the irq when I run 'ifconfig eth0 down'.

In my case it is Intel Pro e1000 driver, I suspect there is some kind of bug in the kernel because your card looks different than mine and I don't think that every driver out there for Linux is faulty.
Is there a way to re-enable a disabled IRQ, other than rebooting the system ? because it seems that is the only workaround to this bug.
