Using kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 ============================== Using default boot arguments to the kernel, my wifi ethernet card works, and networking is ok, but my usb devices refuses to work. I also see 5 of these warnings being printed on boot: ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interuppt Link [ALKD] Try pci=noacpi or acpi=off If I boot with kernel argument "acpi=noirq", those warnings disappear, and usb devices work ok, but wifi ethernet stops working. Using kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 ============================== The scenario is the same as when booting the previous kernel with acpi=noirq argument. USB devices work, no warnings get printed, but wifi won't work. I'm attaching dmesg's reports of the three cases.

Forgot to give descriptions of the attachments. They are in the order listed: kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 + acpi=noirq kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
Using the newly released kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 I get the same behaviour as with 2798. Wifi works out-of-the-box, but no USB. The same warnings appears in "dmesg", and also the ACPI: Unable to set IRQ for PCI Interuppt Link [ALKD] Try pci=noacpi or acpi=off has re-appeared during boot.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
I'm still seeing this bug on Fedora 8. It has been like this for me since Fedora 7 as well, I must be sitting on some rare obscure hardware...
(In reply to comment #7) > I'm still seeing this bug on Fedora 8. It has been like this for me since Fedora > 7 as well, I must be sitting on some rare obscure hardware... Can you post dmesg from the latest kernel booted without any options?

Comment #9 is the output of dmesg using kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8. (Wifi works, usb devices don't).
This machine has all kinds of ACPI bugs in its BIOS: DMI year is 0 (what year was this machine really produced?) An ACPI region in the EC has no handler. ACPI BIOS is returning the wrong object type. We should probably close this as NOTABUG?
System BIOS is flakey, we apparently can't deal with its problems.
