It seems this happens occasionally with both mm1 and mm2. |
I've now discovered that this happens uncondisionally if I have pci=usepirqmask in my grub kernel line. It doesn't seem to happen at all when I don't pass that to the kernel. |

| Okay, I am back with more questions. I have been running 2.5.73-mm2 for two and three days now, except for the problem of XMMS skipping, it seems really fast. But, I am encountering problem when I boot up. The "checkfs" service runs at boot time. With 2.4.20, I had no problem with this script; it fsck all my partions listed on /etc/fstab and hand over control to the next service. But, with the development kernel, it takes so much time to do so (atleast 30 minutes) - mostly waiting to replay journals. Obviously, I don't have patience to wait 30 minute on everyboot up so I tried to remove checkfs from the boot run-level with "rc-update del checkfs boot" . But, it still insisted on checking all my filesystems on the next boot up although the script is not listed in /etc/runlevels/boot. So, I basically now have a bad work-around where I keep two /etc/fstab files (one very minimal and the regular one) and change my /etc/fstab file to minimal before I reboot to the minimal one and restore it after the boot up process ends. When I run fsck on all my partitions after booting, it checks the systems and replays whatever journals it need to replay very fast. So I am confused by why checkfs is taking long? Anybody have any idea? And, also why couldn't I stopped it from checking the partitions after I removed checkfs from the boot run-level? Thanks. |

| Great! 2.5.74-mm1 solved all the problems I mentioned above including "xmms skips" and "checkfs takes too long" problems. :D |
