sorry, I forgot that in my first mail.
There is a known problem on some Sony Vaios where a bios bug produces
kernel errors like "have IRQ X want IRQ Y". I verified on the Vaio that
this is actually *not* the problem here.
Also, the 2.4 kernels disable VIA APIC routing in quirks.c. Is this
connected to IRQ problems?
kernel: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling.
kernel: Found and enabled local APIC!
kernel: Using local APIC timer interrupts.
kernel: calibrating APIC timer ...
kernel: PCI: Disabling Via external APIC routing
Just for the fun of it, I disabled the disabling by patching quirks.c -
didn't help a bit.
However, IRQs seem fine otherwise:
CPU0
0: 1591415 XT-PIC timer
1: 37728 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 0 XT-PIC acpi
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc
9: 173834 XT-PIC SoundBlaster
10: 725010 XT-PIC usb-uhci, usb-uhci, eth0
12: 161580 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse
14: 185476 XT-PIC ide0
15: 99 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
LOC: 1591269
ERR: 268
MIS: 0
The large count on IRQ 10 is solely due to the network card.
I tried several kernel boot options concerning acpi and apic, none of
them changed the problem.
I then tried to load the modules for the mouse one after another. The
timeout message seems to happen after insmod'ing hiddev and hid. After
that message usbcore cannot be rmmod'ed as it always reports "busy".
Another question: Do cable usb mice require an IRQ? I don't have any
such mouse here right now to check.
thanks
Mark
