Description Andrew Duffey 2008-02-21 01:47:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/2.0.0.12-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Description of problem:
When I boot, I get this:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy0'
Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason a1 on CPU 0.
You have some hardware problem, likely on the PCI bus.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -5

As far as I know, I don't actually have a hardware problem -- wireless works fine in Windows.
