Description Jesus Salvo 2007-06-17 11:59:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

This may be 2 bugs that are related, not entirely sure:

If I dont have "noapic", my notebook freezes at different points ( sometimes
during startup, sometimes after startup ). The only way I could get a workable
notebook is with "noapic".

However, if I add "noapic", USB is not working entirely, as in:
1) Any USB device connected after startup does not get recognised
2) My USB 1.0 mouse ( A microsoft optical mouse ) that is connected prior to
power on works ... but if I disconnect it and then reconnect it, it no longer
works ( No LED lights on the usb mouse )
3) I get the following message via dmesg and /var/log/messages:


irq 7: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Call Trace:

Disabling IRQ #7


Note that the same notebook had FC6 installed prior to F7. Under the latest
kernel of FC6, the above message about IRQ7 also appears ... but at least USB
full-speed ( 12Mbps ) is working, although I do not get high-speed with my USB
2.0 devices. At least I can use them, I can't with F7.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ uname -rmpvo
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 14:56:37 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add "noapic" 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Any USB device connected after startup is not recognised.
USB 1.0 mouse connected prior to poweron recognised, but after disconnecting and
reconnecting the mouse, it also is no longer recognised.


Expected results:

Any USB device connected after startup must be recognised.
USB 1.0 mouse connected prior to poweron recognised, and must continue to be
recognised even if disconnected and reconnected.

Comment 3 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-17 12:03:56 UTC 
When I said:

"Note that the same notebook had FC6 installed prior to F7. Under the latest
kernel of FC6, the above message about IRQ7 also appears ... but at least USB
full-speed ( 12Mbps ) is working, although I do not get high-speed with my USB
2.0 devices. At least I can use them, I can't with F7."

It should have said:

"Note that the same notebook had FC6 installed prior to F7. Under FC6, the above
message about IRQ7 in all kernels that I have used also appears ... but at least
USB full-speed ( 12Mbps ) is working, although I do not get high-speed ( 480
Mbps ) with my USB 2.0 devices. At least I can use them, I can't with F7."
Comment 4 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-17 12:28:00 UTC 
Damn ........... .I should have tried this earlier. I did not because it did not
change a thing under FC6.

This time, I booted F7 with "noapic irqpoll". This time, the usb devices are
recognised. 

However, things seems to be running slow. Does irqpoll hurt performance ?
Also, my USB 2.0 device ( USB2IDE hard-drive enclosure ) appears to be
recognised only as full-speed 9 12 Mbps ) and not high-speed ( See below ).

I also forgot to mention that under FC6, the latest kernel allowed me to boot
without having to specify "noapic", and I get USB high-speed ( 480Mpbs ) working.

Under F7, it seems that I took a few steps back, since I have freezed without
"noapic", and I can't get usb high-speed working.

dmesg output when attaching usb2 device with "noapic irqpoll"
Comment 6 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-17 13:09:30 UTC 
After about half hour of use ... I find that irqpoll is just tooo slow. The
characters that I type on the keyboard take too long to appear on the screen,
switching between apps takes ages for a redraw on the screen, etc.... It is
simply  painful.

What I am curious about is that usb2 high-speed was working under FC6 using just
"noapic", although using an i686 kernel back then instead of an x86_64 kernel.
Comment 7 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-19 11:49:30 UTC 
FYI .. With the "noapic" option only, I have lots of ERRs in /proc/interrupts,
plus high interrupts for usb2:

I'll try using a combination of different kernel boot paramters are report the
results later.
Comment 8 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-23 01:31:49 UTC 
After several tries, it seems that the correct option is to use "pci=noacpi"
option, __without__ "noapic".

With "pci=noacpi" option only, I get:

1) USB 2.0 highspeed working
2) No lockups

No I am just wondering if this option was necessary if the hidden HPET was
enabled . Anyway, for now, this are working.
Comment 9 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-23 01:43:33 UTC 
Spoke too soon. After all those hours ... I did not bother testing sound. Sound
is broken with "pci=noacpi". When I click "Test sound" in KDE's control panel,
there is sound, but it paused like every half second.
Comment 10 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-30 11:27:01 UTC 
I think I found the combination1 It seems to be pci=msi,mmconf, as in ( from
dmesg ):

Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 apic=debug pci=msi,mmconf

No need for noapic! Now I get:

1) USB working, including high-speed, and disconnect / reconnect
2) Sound works
3) No hangs ( yet .. for 30 minutes now ).
4) Even works with nvidia's proprietary graphics driver

pci=msi by itself or pci=mmconf by itself will result in a system hang a few
seconds after completing startup.

Will update within a week to see if this really does it for this notebook (
Compaq Presario V6107AU ).
Comment 11 Jesus Salvo 2007-06-30 11:28:52 UTC 
Here is the /proc/interrupts with pci=msi,mmconf:

Comment 12 Jesus Salvo 2007-07-10 06:19:08 UTC 
After more than a week, I can confirm that "pci=msi,mmconf" is the correct
kernel parameter!
Comment 13 Christopher Brown 2007-09-16 22:15:37 UTC 
Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

This bug appears to be resolved and I am therefore closing it. If I have erred,
please forgive me and re-open with any additional information you are able to
give. I will then try and assist you if I can.

Cheers
Chris
