upgraded bios, -12 still doesn't boot. i believe the upgrade may have fixed the issue with collisions on irq 7 as the table look somewhat different now: naushika:~> cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 0: 401261 16252 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 1 1 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 5: 70688 2856 XT-PIC-XT libata, HDA Intel 6: 4 1 XT-PIC-XT floppy 7: 24808 596792 XT-PIC-XT parport0 8: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT rtc 9: 0 0 XT-PIC-XT acpi 10: 97043 4580 XT-PIC-XT ohci_hcd:usb2, libata, nvidia 11: 28370 1855 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb1, libata 12: 4 0 XT-PIC-XT i8042 15: 1 2 XT-PIC-XT ohci1394 504: 166355 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth1 505: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth1 506: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth1 507: 166358 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 508: 59 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 509: 29 0 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 NMI: 235 105 LOC: 417504 417477 ERR: 8400
still can't tell for sure, as the issue may take up to several hours before it occur. although, so far, so good. also, i'm away this weekend, so you won't hear from me before sunday or monday. -- kernel later than 2.6.20-6 crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/90209 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
