It would solve the problem, if the cause is level/edge trigger. (Actually, patch is just hideing the problem.) And please send dmesg, lspci -vvvxxx, cat /proc/interrupts, 8259A.pl, mptable. In some cases, we may be able to add workaround. But we need to find the cause of problem before it. -- OGAWA Hirofumi
