Description of problem: During boot, kernels since 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 print a message saying that IRQ 233 (the USB controller with my keyboard) is disabled. Subsequently, I cannot log in, because the system doesn't see any of my keystrokes. This only happens with kernels 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 and 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4. This does not happen with earlier kernels. For instance, I am currently using kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 without issues. The syslog contains the following interesting messages: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:13.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 233 ohci_hcd 0000:00:13.0: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:13.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 ohci_hcd 0000:00:13.0: irq 233, io mem 0xfe02d000 hub 3-0:1.0: USB hub found hub 3-0:1.0: 4 ports detected ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:13.1[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 233 ohci_hcd 0000:00:13.1: OHCI Host Controller irq 233: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Call Trace: <IRQ> <ffffffff80154f10>{__report_bad_irq+48} <ffffffff8015515e>{note_interrupt+510} <ffffffff8029ef22>{usb_hcd_irq+30} <ffffffff80154a79>{__do_IRQ+174} <ffffffff80110b75>{do_IRQ+47} <ffffffff8010eca2>{ret_from_intr+0} <EOI> <ffffffff8010d232>{default_idle+0} <ffffffff8022f4fd>{acpi_processor_idle+292} <ffffffff8010d288>{cpu_idle+49} <ffffffff805047b5>{start_kernel+469} <ffffffff805041f3>{_sinittext+499} handlers: [<ffffffff8029ef04>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x46) [<ffffffff8029ef04>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x46) Disabling IRQ #233 System stats: * RS480M2-IL mainboard * 1 GB DDR400 RAM * Athlon64 3500+ * APIC is enabled in the BIOS * no_timer_check kernel parameter needed to avoid clock skew I will attach files showing the following: * /proc/cpuinfo * /proc/modules * /proc/interrupts * /proc/ioports * /proc/iomem * output from lspci -vvv In addition, I have attached the contents of the syslog from an example boot in case I missed anything important.

Adding the irqpoll option to the kernel command line allowed me to work around this issue, although the message about IRQ 233 being disabled still happens.
This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. Thank you.
I no longer have this problem with kernel 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4. This new kernel resolves my previous issues; booting without the irqpoll option doesn't result in warnings about IRQ 233, and the keyboard works.
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
As noted above, I haven't seen this bug in ages (since at least 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4). I don't believe I've ever had this problem since upgrading to FC5, and I don't experience this problem with kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5. This can probably be closed.
