But "bugs" are _very_ hardware specific, so just a few people will have a similar problem and most of this people are just "normal" users -- not Linux Kernel developers. The developer (people who are familiar with the kernel code and who are maybe able to fix this problem) aren't able to reproduce this error and test code to get it working. So they're maybe (without knowing anything about the hardware (maybe it's broken hardware?)) not able to say something specific about the hardware -- they can just guess.
My linux laptop says:(...)
irq 5: nobody cared!
Does anyone care? :-)
Well, I'm getting similar stack traces with my system and those are sure
scary, but it seems that my e-mails to the list are simply ignored,
unfortunately.
I am willing to test any patch and configuration (let's call me a "guinea
pig"), but I don't know what I should do. I have, OTOH, reported my problem
many times in the past few days. :-(
I will retry sending my message to the list once again, with the details
(in my case, the message I get is "irq 10: nobody cared!" and it is
regarding my primary HD on my secondary Promise PDC20265 controller).
Thanks for any help, Rogério.
P.S.: I have already bought an 80-pin cable just for this drive in the hope
that the message would go away, but it didn't.
