[opensuse] Lost Interrupt
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/afcf8b688721a4b289af7cdb514c0c3f.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'm using openSUSE 10.2 for some time and in the last days, at boot time, the following line appears: "hdc: lost interrupt" where hdc is: "hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)" The boot process waits several minutes after the first line and then resumes; apparently in a normal way. When I enter in KDE, the CD works and YAST even indicates UDMA 33, which is the mode detected at boot time. Can I tune this by software or BIOS settings or it's a indication that the drive is malfunction? I append the zipped boot.msg. -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano

Hi, everytime this happened to me (3-5 times with HDD), it was hardware fault. I'm definitely sure that in several cases IDE cable change helped and I don't remember the need for drive replacement. Maybe changing the drive setup (e.g. exchange hdc with hdd) Last week I got several times "hda: lost interrupt" and the problem was solved by moving hdb to hdd... Tosuja Lívio Cipriano wrote:

Hi Peter, Thanks for your help. Seams that my problem calmed down. I disable some not used devices (serial and parallel ports) and I tweaked the BIOS to distributed the IRQs to the devices, not the OS. Anyway, the fact is that I install 2 SATA drives and I had to shuffle the disk cables, before the problem to manifest. I'll take a second look to it. I also discover this link ("http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/02/lostinterrupt.html"), that gives some insight to the problem at the kernel level. -- Regards, Lívio Cipriano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
