Every 2.6 series kernel.

The system normally starts in a stable state - unless rebooting after the
interrupt storm.  In which case the storm sometimes continues (I think turning
off for a few minutes normally resets everything).

When the system is in a stable state

echo disable > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00

is effective.  I have now added this to the boot.local script, and so far I
have had no more interrupt storms.

Normally I can cause it by running some graphically intensive websites (with
lots of CSS and flash on the pages).  It seems to be independent of the
graphics driver in use with X (I've tried ATI's and the open source radeon
driver).  I think it's in some way related to CPU load.  

It's impossible to give an exact scenario which will initiate the interrupt
storm, sometimes it won't happen.

Thanks for your help!

Chris
