(more details at <http://bugs.debian.org/585556>). This is in Debian kernel version 2.6.32-15 which is based on stable version 2.6.32.14 but has your backported spurious IRQ handling patch taken from SLE11 (References: bnc#445872, bnc#589449). Any idea what's going wrong here? Is there a piece missing from that fix? Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
