------- Comment #25 from bic...@superonline.com  2009-02-14 17:59 -------
Hello,

While bisecting (between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25), I noticed that the commits
between the so called good and bad commits were very unrelated to the
problem I am having. Finally, I tried a vanilla 2.6.24 kernel. I am sad
to report that vanilla 2.6.24 has the same problem.

However, all is not lost. I have built Debian's 2.6.24 based kernel with
a patch which reduces the spurious IRQ counter limit to 10, and have run
it for 18 days. I am happy to report that during that time I haven't had
any "nobody cared" messages.

So I decided to bisect the differences between Debian's 2.6.24 and the
vanilla 2.6.24. I have created a git repository based on Debian's 2.6.24,
and then reverted Debian's changes to 2.6.24 patch by patch and ran
"git commit" between each step. This gave me a git repository which can
be used to bisect the differences. (Unfortunately, git cannot bisect
from future to past, which is the reason I have come up with this
complicated approach.)

Just to rule out the possibility that this might be a configuration related
issue, I am trying a vanilla 2.6.24 kernel with Debian's configuration.
If this test shows that the configuration does not trigger this bug, then
I will start the bisection procedure using the git repository which I have
documented above.

Regards,

M. Vefa Bicakci
