Hi,

Using the 2.6.23.1 kernel and Debian Etch on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61
7659A21, I am getting two weird errors, as follows:

I have tried booting with the irqpoll option, but this results in the
automounter doing weird things with the optical drive. Specifically, it
sporadically mounts an audio disc with weird negative-sized tracks, even
if there is no disc inserted in the drive.

Also, regardless of whether I boot with irqpoll or not, chrony
frequently uses up 100% of one CPU. The chrony measurements.log,
statistics.log and tracking.log all show normal activity (ie: a "normal"

Turn off bluetooth and you may find the stuck IRQ goes away - at least on
some thinkpads there are weird extra IRQs when bluetooth is running which
break stuff.

There was an old American Music/Comedy show called "Hee Haw!" which had
a recurring skit consisting of a farmer running into the doctor's office
and saying
"Doctor, doctor! It hurts when I do this!" followed by some unlikely
activity.
The doctor always replied "Then don't do that."

Turning off bluetooth is a useful diagnostic test, but for some systems
it's not a practical operating configuration. Any thoughts on making
bluetooth work in these cases? Most laptops make a unit like the
Logitech MX5000 BT keyboard desirable for extended use.

Hi,

Apologies for forgetting to attach the kernel configuration. It is
attached in this email.

Thank you very much.
