I just want to say your updated C1 patch works for me.
A little history. I got an ASUS A7N8X-X motherboard with a XP 3200+ CPU. For 3 days the system worked fine with vanilla Linux 2.6.3 (no apic patch). My workload consisted of web surfing and hacking. I built Xfree86 from source. No problems. Then I added an Adaptec 2940UW and a DAT tape unit for backups. About 10-15 minutes into a backup, the system would freeze. The freeze was 100% reproducible: I tried 6-7 times. I then upgraded to 2.6.5, applied your patch, and rebooted. I then tried to do a backup: FREEZE!! What tha.....??? Ah, forgot to supply idle=C1halt to the kernel. Supplied it, and did a backup: No freeze!!
Long story short, been running for two days, doing backups, etc. No freezes.
Here's my /proc/interrupts:
CPU0 0: 69486179 XT-PIC timer 1: 12748 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 493447 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 998896 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 22 IO-APIC-edge ide1 16: 785983 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx, ehci_hcd 19: 26985093 IO-APIC-level eth0, radeon@PCI:3:0:0 NMI: 0 LOC: 69486209 ERR: 0 MIS: 6
Thanks for your efforts.
