[parisc-linux] Kernel 2.4.9-pa2?

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Jo=EBl_Soete?=]

Hi Matthew,

I just try to investigate a little bit:
a) I do not encountered the problem with an IA32 (not exactly the same
config file but I thing it should be independent)
b) the problem was not present on kernel-2,4,6-pa22 but appears in fact
with kernel-2.4.7-pa1 (sorry to not have reported at this time)

The problem seems to dependent of pa-risc (and only some one as the 715
model do not seems to affected)

Kind regards,
     Joel

PS: If it could help you, I can also test on a sparc20 to be sure.

I think you're right.  Richard saw it on an A500 with 2.4.8 too.
I've seen a few scattered reports from people on other architectures
that they're seeing the same thing.

I went over the softirqd code this morning, and nothing jumped out at
me and said `this is something parisc is doing wrong'.  Maybe more eyes..
