** Description changed: I have several similar HP boxes that boot with IRQ errors, for the USB subsystem, like this: - irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) - ... + irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) + ... So I have indeed always used the "irqpoll" kernel argument, and that has fixed the USB performance problems. Under 2.6.39 and 3.0, the kernel option has stopped working. The logs say "try booting with the 'irqpoll' option", though they also show that argument was present. I don't yet have any idea why it's no longer taking effect (and I have not yet tried other kernels than Ubuntu images). Here is some context on the IRQ errors, in case it is relevant, though this may be just a boot-argument problem: - These machines all have one PCI-E slot. They only have the IRQ problems - when that slot is used; if I revert to onboard video, they go away. - When I do use a video card, as I'd prefer to do, the errors come - regardless of which card, whether it is ATI or Nvidia, with open or - proprietary drivers. "Irqpoll" has always taken care of them, until - 2.6.39 arrived. + These machines all have a PCI-E x16 slot, for video cards.
