Hi, My system was working fine until i updated the bios the latest version. Now when i boot the kernel, it complains about irq's and says something like 'noone care's for irq 7' and halts. I found passing the 'irqpoll' option via the bootloader corrects this problem. I Wasn't sure if I should post a bug about this or if its a motherboard prob, so if its not fixable then sorry in advance. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

If you can reproduce this on vanilla-sources-2.6.13_rc6 then feel free to file a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org including the full "nobody cared" report as its possible that a quirk could be put in place. But you might just be told that you have a buggy bios.
