That was my initial thought, though you'll note that the same message is present in the 2.6.7-bk5 boot log. I'll have to hook up a serial console to do a real diff of the IRQ initialization. > Does booting with "noapic" or "acpi=off" help anything? No, exact same behavior. > Also, does disabling combined mode solve anything? AFAICT, Dell's BIOS offers no option for changing the SATA mode. ("Cable Select" for the new millenium! Arrgh!) If a diff of the boot logs shows nothing useful, I will try backing out individual patches from patch-2.6.7-bk5-bk6.bz2. Thanks. Bill Rugolsky
