There were a number of threads about the "IRQ x: nobody cared!" kernel messages, but none of them quite seemed to represent the problem I was having.

I have a USB keyboard and mouse, and after a long period (several hours) of no input, the kernel would say the following (or something very similar):

Code:
irq 7: nobody cared!
 [<c013282a>] __report_bad_irq+0x2a/0x90
 [<c01321a0>] handle_IRQ_event+0x30/0x70
 [<c013291c>] note_interrupt+0x6c/0xd0
 [<c0132310>] __do_IRQ+0x130/0x160
 [<c0104b59>] do_IRQ+0x19/0x30
 [<c010309a>] common_interrupt+0x1a/0x20
 [<c0283d6b>] acpi_processor_idle+0xf3/0x1f9
 [<c010068a>] cpu_idle+0x3a/0x60
 [<c052e7ed>] start_kernel+0x16d/0x1b0
 [<c052e3b0>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1b0
handlers:
[<c02fb8a0>] (ohci_irq_handler+0x0/0x780)
[<c0315870>] (usb_hcd_irq+0x0/0x70)
Disabling IRQ #7


This would disable the IRQ that was handling my interface devices, so I'd have to ssh in and reboot my machine to recover. Most threads that refer to this symptom indicate that the above kernel message appears on every boot, but for me it only seems to appear after a period of no HID usage.

I first started having this problem somewhere in the 2.6 kernel series, and it persisted for several 'stable' releases of gentoo-dev-sources. I stupidly forgot to note when it was resolved, but since at least 2.6.8, I'd been fine.

Now, I just upgraded to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r4, and I'm having exactly the same problem again. Any ideas?

EDIT: I was fine with 2.6.9-gentoo-dev-r13

I am having the same error on IRQ 10 with my IBM ServRaid card. I have tried 2.6.10, 2.6.10-r1 and 2.6.11-rc1. All with the same error. 2.6.9 is not an option for me because of the cifs bug.

Well, it looks like I'm getting the same thing as you, colinb. IRQ 7 disabled message...

Running 2.6.10 kernel, my mouse quits working after a period of time. This is a *fresh* install of gentoo. just got Xorg on after base install.
a7n8x-deluxe Asus nforce2 mboard. acpi not compiled in kernel at all.
I've had No problems other than this.

This is my first foray into the 2.6 kernel series... I just rebuild my machine and reinstalled Gentoo on it. So far so good except for this problem...

Anybody got any ideas???

My system info is below... I have most everything onboard on my mboard turned off with the exception of the onboard sound.

Here's my /proc/interrupts:
Code:

  0:     239677          XT-PIC  timer
  1:         10          XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  3:          0          XT-PIC  Ensoniq AudioPCI
  4:          0          XT-PIC  NVidia nForce2
  7:      19783          XT-PIC  ohci_hcd
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc
 10:          2          XT-PIC  ehci_hcd, ivtv0
 11:        770          XT-PIC  ohci1394, ohci_hcd, eth0
 12:         66          XT-PIC  i8042
 14:         16          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:       2583          XT-PIC  ide1

Yes, there's 2 soundcards there... will remove one later... had a intel8x0 driver problem under 2.4 .. haven't removed the card yet.

And my dmesg: (just like the original post

Disabling IRQ #7


I also found this link that might help: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0407.1/0991.html
If the problem is always with IRQ 7, you can move it off by having acpi enabled and giving the kernel the options: acpi_irq_balance and acpi_isa_irq=7 ...
I'm going to try this later tommorrow and see if it works...

I added the kernel params above to my grub.conf kernel line, rebooted and I haven't seen the IRQ message since. Normally the message happens after 10 minutes of no HID activity.

here's what my interrupts look like now:
Code:

  0:   29087438          XT-PIC  timer
  1:       1651          XT-PIC  i8042
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  8:          2          XT-PIC  rtc
  9:          0          XT-PIC  acpi
 10:          5          XT-PIC  ohci1394, ehci_hcd, ivtv0, Ensoniq AudioPCI
 11:      18170          XT-PIC  ohci_hcd, ohci_hcd, NVidia nForce2, eth0
 12:         66          XT-PIC  i8042
 14:         16          XT-PIC  ide0
 15:      37965          XT-PIC  ide1



Its been sitting all night, idle, with no messages, so I suspect that this trick may have worked. *for me*. YMMV

I have the same problem with my network card on IRQ 19, unforuntely its in a laptop so i cant really change it. I've files a bug on the kernel bugzilla (bug #3990, bugzilla.kernel.org) so I'll see what comes from that

good idea, but won't work for me. Not an acpi system.

I had the same problem, solved it by moving my network card to another pci slot. :)

I get the IRQ Nobody cares! only when I use a webcam. It has to be a full speed device, and use isochronous transfers, and then my USB dies, and the IRQ is disabled.

Always get
Code:

Disabling IRQ #10

after inserting Netgear Wireless Lan Card into my pcmcia-slot...

Code:

cat /proc/interrupts

shows on IRQ#10 the uhci_hcd and eth0 device..

With a similar hardware, I think (i. e. Acer 1362 WLMi), I get the "Disabling IRQ #11" message and some funny stuff about disabling this irq in the kernel output (dmesg). And... it doesn't recognise my integrated Ethernet adapter! The problem disappears without the ACPI support into the kernel.
Maybe I'll try with a acpi_irq_balance, hoping that it will work.
But... anybody could please tell me the reason for this? I tried to search some information on the 'net, but nothing 'till now.
Thanks for advices (and sorry for my poor English...)

Hi radiant,

i´ve written a small guide (should) solving this problem (sorry, but it´s german). If you have problems reading this, contact me an i´ll try to translate it for you!

I almost can read the code lines, so I think I could only guess what you were suggesting. But I can't understand German (although it's a wonderful language IMHO, I've never studied it so much).
Anyway, my problem seems to be solved with the acpi_irq_balance option passed to the kernel. I don't know if the problem IS really solved, as far as I haven't any knowledge about interrupts... I know only what they are!
No need for a translation I think... but I'm curious to know the details of your problem!
Thanx!

Lorenzo
