| |
Some systems lock up without the noapic option. I found one that will freeze while trying to set up the timer interrupt. Passing 'nolapic' makes it freeze just after:
Setting up timer through ExtINT... works
Sometimes it will boot up and then freeze during the startup scripts. Passing the noapic option fixes all that, but it then gets 1000 spurious interrupts per second on IRQ7 (which only shows ehci using it.) Kernel version is 2.6.22. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
