Hi,my system running snv_50 is often very slow, the mouse cursor is 'jumping' on the screen as if the system is very busy and by switching workspaces the desktop needs several seconds to be redrawn. The problems seems to be the huge amount of interrupts. intrstat: device | cpu0 %tim -------------+--------------- ata#0 | 2 0.1 audio810#0 | 52857 3.0 ehci#0 | 0 0.0 nfo#0 | 52857 3.3 pci-ide#1 | 0 0.0 pci-ide#2 | 105715 3.8 nfo#0 is the on-board network interface. I've read something about false "interrupt polarity" in the DSDT ACPI table but I don't know which changes I have to make to the table. The system specs are MSI K8N Neo Platinum Motherboard Nvidia nForce 3 2050Gb Chipset (Audio & NIC on-board) MSI RX9250 ATI Radeon Graphics Card AMD Athlon 64 3000+ AWARD Bios V2.1 (The latest I could find at MSI's webpage) 3xSATA HD's (1 UFS, 2 ZFS) I'd appreciate any help or suggestion.
I'm pretty sure this is the issue that Seth putback a fix for last week: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/on-changelog-20061120.html (scroll down a bit) Issues Resolved: BUG/RFE:5092743pcplusmp: IOAPIC cannot deliver interrupt to cpu when RDT entry is masked BUG/RFE:6335195psm modules should workaround incorrect interrupt polarity information from ACPI BUG/RFE:6437077pcplusmp: Fix for 6425990 still allows some deadlocks BUG/RFE:6483272apic_check_stuck_interrupt must not call functions that may lead to preemption; induces hang BUG/RFE:6490462pcplusmp still assumes CPU 0 is always available Files Changed: update:usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/pcplusmp/apic.c update:usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/pcplusmp/apic.h update:usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/pcplusmp/apic_introp.c So unless you want to wait for snv_54 (current build) to be released as SX, then you should grab the current weekly build instead. cheers, James C.
