I have an occassional problem with a net5501. It runs for a while (sometimes weeks, sometimes hours) and then locks up completely, requiring a power cycle or console reset (+++RESET) to recover. The last message I see on the console is this from the Linux kernel:
[145232.698598] spurious APIC interrupt on CPU#0, should never happen. In other logs on the system, the only activity that ever occurs immediately prior to the freeze is wireless activity involving an EAP state change (i.e., new client connecting and initializating session or a connected client powering down its wireless adapter and idling its session). The madwifi HAL also experiences a "stuck beacon" now and then, but it hasn't been problematic and happens much more frequently than the hard freezes (a few times per day vs. a few times per month, both sporadically). I've searched around for information about what causes the spurious interrupt message and hard freeze, but everything I've found is related to its occurrence at boot time, which is not what I'm seeing. The system has Voyage Linux installed and has a CF card and SATA hard drive, a CM9 miniPCI wireless adapter (madwifi), and an Openvox A400P PCI telephony card. Any information would be appreciated.
