Hi All,
Twice now in a month, on booting up my SL 7.3 computer,
after entering my LUKS passphrase, it freezes
at "Disabling IRQ 16". <ctrl>alt><f2> doesn't
do a thing. Everything is frozen. The one fingered
reset works.
Am I starting to lose my motherboard or is this a "feature"
of 7.3?
Many thanks,

I tried adding "irqpoll" to my kernel run line (grub.cfg).
After rebooting, I noticed that right after "Disabling IRQ16", I got an
"irq18 nobody cares (try booting with irqpoll option)". Then it ran for
a bit and OH NO "Kernel panic: CPU 4 PID 0 comm: swapper/4 tainted" and
my keyboard's light started flashing.
The kernel panic reproduced twice before I removed "irqpoll" and I was
able to boot again.
Did this tell us something?
Have you looked into the BIOS/UEFI settings in regards to which devices
uses IRQ 16 or IRQ 18? What kind of motherboard is it?
My motherboard is a Supermicro X8SAX

I will have to ask supermicro what those two IRQs are for.
