USB lost its interrupt. Could be USB, more likely ACPI.
I've seen this one happen nearly every boot since then including bootups that are otherwise OK (no oopses), so it's probably worth more looking into rather than being written off as a 'once off':

uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.3: Unlink after no-IRQ? Controller is probably using the wrong IRQ.

Note the PCI ID is 1d.3 and the IRQ is 193.

Hi Alan,

If it's any use, here's some simply and easy-to-get information which may even be what you are looking for:

[root@tornado dovecot]# uname -a
Linux tornado.reub.net 2.6.15-mm1 #1 SMP Sun Jan 8 03:42:25 NZDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[root@tornado ~]# cat /proc/interrupts

0: 21638510 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
4: 356 0 IO-APIC-edge serial
8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi
14: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0
50: 3 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2
169: 120 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb5
177: 2837992 0 IO-APIC-level sky2
185: 61450 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb4, serial
193: 4722447 0 IO-APIC-level libata, uhci_hcd:usb3

Note that in the earlier kernel, IRQ 193 is assigned to usb3. That's the second UHCI controller, since usb1 is EHCI.

[root@tornado ~]# lspci

00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #1 (rev 03)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #2 (rev 03)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #3 (rev 03)
00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB UHCI #4 (rev 03)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 03)

Note that 1d.3 is the fourth UHCI controller; the second is 1d.1.

I guess this looks like it was assigned the same IRQ ?

I don't think so. To be certain you'd have to check the boot-up log and
verify that 1d.1 is usb3 and 1d.3 is usb5.

From the information presented here, it looks like -mm1 correctly routes
the 1d.1 controller to IRQ 193 and the 1d.3 controller to IRQ 169, whereas
-mm3 incorrectly routes the 1d.3 controller to IRQ 193. That would make it an ACPI problem.

Is this likely to be the same or similar issue to the IRQ 0 problem I see quite frequently on the SATA ports on later -mm releases?
