Description Andrew Overholt 2008-11-17 19:03:22 UTC
When running kernel-2.6.27.5-109.fc10.x86_64 I get random system-wide hangs and need to hard-reboot my laptop.  It appears that just before the hang I'm getting "disabling IRQ #16" from syslog.

Booting into 2.6.27.4-68.fc10.x86_64 has no issues that I can see (well, except for apparently not having a working bluetooth on my laptop ...).

This sounds something like what Luke saw this morning

Comment 2 Luke Macken 2008-11-18 16:19:24 UTC
Yep, I hit that same issue yesterday with 2.6.27.5-109.fc10.x86_64.

I'm having the same issue as well.

I had a lockup on kernel 2.6.27.4-68.fc10.x86_64 as well. I was flipping desktops in compiz and the laptop hard locked. Upon reboot, I noticed the following in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old:

exaCopyDirty: Pending damage region empty!
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

(repeated lots of times).

If I understand correctly that's a different bug - you have no "disabling IRQ" message, and a much older kernel. Perhaps it matches one of the bugs in the 'eq-overflow' tracker: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=465884&hide_resolved=1

FWIW I can reproduce the "disabling IRQ #16" behavior here as well, on kernel -113 (intel cantiga graphics)

Comment 7 Will Woods 2008-11-19 01:39:41 UTC
See also bug 471162, which describes the same symptoms but on i945GME. Appears to be fixed for those users now.

FWIW, not all of those that commented on bug 471162 have a 945GME -- tree of them seem to have a intel 965 chipset (to be precise: a GM965 according to two of the three reports)

Comment 9 Hedayat Vatankhah 2008-11-19 12:23:50 UTC
I have the same problem recently with latest f10 kernels (I'm using intel GM 965 graphics card).
It happened while I didn't use any 3D applications or desktop effects.

Comment 10 Luke Macken 2008-11-19 16:46:20 UTC
I'm pretty sure I encountered the same issue again today.  Both times happened while I was spinning a livecd using the livecd-creator, under fairly heavy disk i/o.  This time, I was able to switch to a console and see some ext3 errors (picture attached).  I'm not 100% sure that this is the same issue, but it did produce the same symptoms as before.

Comment 12 Chuck Ebbert 2008-11-19 17:59:52 UTC
You can work around the IRQ disable problem by adding "noirqdebug" to the kernel boot options.

Comment 13 Andrew Overholt 2008-11-19 19:20:17 UTC
I had similar ext3 errors to Luke when I ran into this issue.

Comment 14 Andrew Overholt 2008-11-20 15:54:05 UTC
This is still happening with kernel-2.6.27.5-113.fc10.x86_64.

Did you try with 2.6.27.5-116.fc10.x86_64 or newer? That is out for two days now and solved the problem for a few users in Bug 471162

Comment 16 Andrew Overholt 2008-11-20 16:36:35 UTC
I'm running 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 now.  To get some disk churn I cleaned and rebuilt all of my projects in Eclipse.  I have a lot so this wasn't a small task.  I also started up Firefox and did some stuff in an terminal at the same time.  I haven't seen a hang yet.

Comment 17 Hedayat Vatankhah 2008-11-20 17:24:27 UTC
Yesterday I had many hangs. But since I've updated my kernel to 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 I had no crashes. Seems to be fixed now. :)

Comment 18 Luke Macken 2008-11-21 19:43:55 UTC
I've been running 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 all day under high i/o load without any problems.
