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:

        ata1.00: exception Emask 0x2 SAct 0x1c SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen

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"
volume of entries, vis a vis chrony on other ...

Hi,

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

Thank you very much.

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.
