------- Comment #18 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-11-20 13:14 ------- Thanks for the reply. I downloaded and compiled (without any patches) 2.6.23.8 and ran it for 8 hours (without the binary nvidia driver and with 'nv' driver) and I couldn't see anything relevant. SO, I guess, the problem has been fixed in the upstream kernel ! :-) Please note that, I ran the above with both acpi_irq_balance set and unset. To be specific, I ran it without acpi_irq_balance for a couple of hours and with acpi_irq_balance set for the remaining duration. Setting acpi_irq_balance results in soft lockup bug. I've attached dmesg output for your info. I couldn't remember what the device 8250 is ? I think it could be the infra red port on my laptop. I tried enabling it by loading the necessary FIR modules, only to crash my system real hard !! :-( I'm in total agreement regarding acpi_os_name="Microsoft Windows XP". I'd hate to have that line and since, it hasn't had any advantages at all, I just removed the line from the boot menu. The only reason to include it was suspecting the possibility that, BIOS after detecting non MS OS, might disable some of its features. Oh, yes ! DSDT had a couple of errors and I corrected those, recompiled and have it loaded through initrd. To facilitate it further, I decided to include the acpi_os_name thingy which, made no difference and hence, has vanished from the boot menu now ! ;-) Thanks again.
