Re: [Xen-users] irq issues ("nobody cared")

Hello,
I'm having trouble during high IO activities:
Oct 8 10:38:51 matrix kernel: irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with
the "irqpoll" option)
It probably happens even under no-load situations. Seems to be an issue
between newer Motherboards / BIOSs and 2.6.16 / 2.6.17 kernels.
I see this message on my nForce 590 system (Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
motherboard) as well. Usually an "IRQ7 nobody cared" message under
Gentoo 2.6.17. Rumored to be fixed by a newer developer-only BIOS for
this particular board, or possibly fixed in 2.6.18. But since it
doesn't seem to affect anything, it's merely a minor annoyance. Xen
3.0.2 also had a terrible time running on this particular system, so
it's still running a Gentoo 2.6.17 kernel.
It's probably not Xen-specific for your motherboard and installing
another Linux kernel will show the same message. (Until you either
upgrade to a newer Linux kernel or you upgrade to a BIOS that plays
nicer with Linux.) I am a bit surprised that you don't see it with your
distro's stock kernel.
