Ubuntu 5.10 is installed on the Laptop. From time to time I experience temoprary harddisk freezes or lockups. I checked if the Hitachi 40GB 2,5" hdd might be faulty. Tested the drive with Hitachis system tools from their home page and the drive reported well on all integrity and health checks. I did health checks again with Ubuntu and the harddrive was sane again. No lockups in Windows XP at all. The drive was checked by an IT-expert at University and no problems were found. Everything was sane. But in /var/log/messages, there is this error reported repeatedly: ...

These last a few seconds to a few minutes then everything goes back to normal. Under Windows, everything is stable. Here is part of dmesg that only occurs during a lockup: Code: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7. hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 hda: DMA timeout error hda: dma timeout error: status=0xd8 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown hda: DMA disabled ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown ide0: reset: success The number of times the triplets are repeated is related to the length of the lock up (i.e. longer lockup means more repeats). I have read somewhere else that this could be possibly fixed by turning APIC or PCI IRQ sharing off in the kernel. I can't find either of these options in menuconfig but they are on: Code: /usr/src/linux# grep -i APIC .config CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set /usr/src/linux# grep -i PCI .config | grep -i IRQ CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y If those options are there in menuconfig and I'm missing them, can someone please let me know where they are? I'm assuming that if they aren't in menuconfig then they are things considered essential and shouldn't be mucked with. So, any other ideas? I'm running gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-gentoo-r4. hda has two vfat partitions, one swap, and one reiserfs. I've checked the vfat partitions from
