Subject: Re: 2.1.91,2,3 problems....
Hi all,
I am experiencing the following problems with 2.1.91,2,3. I don't have this
problem in 2.1.90.
I am getting the following in my /proc/interrupt table. I assume that
something was changed that caused this dramatic error:
This is from kernel 2.1.91,2,3
CPU0 CPU1
0: 107118 107179 IO-APIC timer
1: 4492 4558 IO-APIC keyboard
2: 0 0 XT PIC cascade
4: 10742 10718 IO-APIC serial
8: 1 0 IO-APIC rtc
9: 163983407 164004595 IO-APIC probe
10: 0 0 IO-APIC probe
11: 0 0 IO-APIC probe
12: 0 0 IO-APIC probe
13: 1 0 XT PIC fpu
14: 0 0 IO-APIC probe
15: 0 0 IO-APIC probe
17: 8626 8595 IO-APIC BusLogic BT-958

IPI: 0
This is from 2.1.90 kernel.
CPU0 CPU1
0: 107118 107179 IO-APIC timer
1: 4492 4558 IO-APIC keyboard
2: 0 0 XT PIC cascade
4: 10742 10718 IO-APIC serial
8: 1 0 IO-APIC rtc
12: 0 0 IO-APIC PS/2 mouse
13: 1 0 XT PIC fpu

Basically what is happening is that X will not work any longer (aside from the
massive interrupts on IRQ 9, and no longer detecting my mouse). X gives the following error in the 2.1.91,2,3 kernels:
>Fatal server error:
>Cannot open mouse (Device or resource busy)
>When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
>the full server output, not just the last messages
>_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
>giving up.
>xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
>xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
This error DOES NOT OCCUR on the 2.1.90 kernel. I have tried to find a
reasonable solution myself, but I am not very familiar with the SMP IO-APIC
code.
I am willing to try anything that you can suggest to fix this problem.
