irq xx: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

Post by mostacholoco »

Hello. I've an Intense PC and I'e just upgraded from Debian 7 to Debian 8.

I'm randomly getting an error on boot that states:

Code: Select all

irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
The result is that when it finally boots the mouse pointer movement is considerably degraded: it moves extremely slow and as if it moved with low FPS, to put it some way.

I made same research about this and noticed kernel developers blamed the BIOS in similar scenarios. They also advised booting using irqpoll but in all cases everyone complained about system performance being extremely degraded.

This is the relevant snippet from my dmesg but I'm attaching it to the post anyway. I'm also attaching the output of "cat /proc/interrupts"

Code: Select all

I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

Try to boot LiveUSB with LinuxMint17.1 and compare mouse behaviour and performance to your Debian 8 installation.
I personally didn't encounter such issues, so may be it's related to Debian 8 only.

Since I updated to Debian 8.1 (from Debian 8.0) I haven't faced this issue again. At least, I've booted around 20 times and I haven't seen this happen not even once. So I'd say for now it seems to be fixed. Thanks.
