Hi, on one of my test machines I recognized the following bootup messages with kernel 2.6.15-rc5. Booting with "irqpoll" doesn't help. I also tried 2.6.14 with the same result. ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: debug port 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) [] __report_bad_irq+0x2a/0xa0 [] handle_IRQ_event+0x30/0x70 [] note_interrupt+0x80/0xf0 [] __do_IRQ+0xd8/0xf0 [] do_IRQ+0x19/0x30 [] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [] __do_softirq+0x2e/0x90 [] do_softirq+0x26/0x30 [] irq_exit+0x35/0x40 [] do_IRQ+0x1e/0x30 [] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20 [] as_can_break_anticipation+0x6b/0x180 [] setup_irq+0xc2/0x140 [] usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x70 [] request_irq+0x85/0xa0 [] usb_add_hcd+0x319/0x3f0 [] usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x70 [] pci_set_master+0x46/0x80 [] usb_hcd_pci_probe+0x24b/0x3f0 [] pci_call_probe+0x19/0x20 [] __pci_device_probe+0x65/0x80 [] pci_device_probe+0x2f/0x50 [] driver_probe_device+0x38/0xb0 [] __driver_attach+0x0/0x50 [] __driver_attach+0x47/0x50 [] bus_for_each_dev+0x69/0x80 [] driver_attach+0x25/0x30 [] __driver_attach+0x0/0x50 [] bus_add_driver+0x8d/0xe0 [] driver_register+0x40/0x50 [] klist_devices_get+0x0/0x10 [] klist_devices_put+0x0/0x10 [] register_proc_table+0xbe/0x130 [] __pci_register_driver+0x71/0xb0 [] printk+0x17/0x20 [] ehci_hcd_pci_init+0x5c/0x70 [] do_initcalls+0x2b/0xc0 [] init+0x0/0x170 [] init+0x0/0x170 [] init+0x3c/0x170 [] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xc handlers: [] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x70) Disabling IRQ #9 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: irq 9, io mem 0xc0080000 ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 Any hints?
