You have an interesting problem. Please do this command

dmesg | grep IRQ

Paste results.

Sorry not to reply sooner; busy weekend. It is strange that you're still having the IRQ issues even with ACPI disabled. I suppose you can remove those additional boot parameters from your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file now, since they cause a strange noise and don't solve the problem.

It would be helpful to see the output of "dmesg | grep IRQ" as nm_geo suggests above. It would also be good to know the exact model of your computer. I'd like to google around and see if there are known issues with IRQ addresses and Linux on your motherboard.

Also, this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but it may be worth turning off your computer and removing the power plug (as well as the battery if it's a laptop), then holding the power button down for about thirty seconds. After that, reboot into Linux and see if the IRQ issues persist. I've seen situations in the past where Windows will leave wireless cards in states in which the Linux driver can't make them "wake up" and cutting off electricity to the motherboard forces the hardware to reset and solve the problem. I think your issue may be different from those other situations, but resetting the hardware can't hurt anything and seems worth a try.

I understand busy. I'm just appreciative that you return to this thread and continue to offer your suggestions for a solution to my problem; thank you.

The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6110ca from the dv6000 series. System board ID = 30B7, BIOS version = F.43, Processor type = AMD Turiton 64 x 2.

I tried the "shot in the dark" but no solution there. I have posted the "dmesg | grep IRQ" output in my previous post.

[pytheas22]

Thanks for the additional information. Unfortunately, googling around doesn't turn up any useful clues. It doesn't seem that there are any major problems associated with IRQ routing on your hardware.

There's a page about troubleshooting IRQ problems here with several relatively straightforward solutions you could try. Any chance they make a difference? Adding boot parameters, as described on that page, simply means editing your /boot/grub/grub.cfg file as you've done earlier.

A few other possibly helpful boot parameters you could try which aren't mentioned on that page are:

apic
lapic
nolapic
pci=biosirq

Finally, if you add the boot parameter "loglevel=7" it should force the kernel to provide more detailed logging information, which could be helpful. It would be useful to see the output of these commands after you've booted with the "loglevel=7" parameter enabled:

dmesg | grep -ie irq -ie ssb -ie b43
grep -ie irq -ie ssb -ie b43 /var/log/syslog

[KemKev]

Very interesting exercise trying all the different parameters. The wireless blue light flashes with options "pci=routeirq" and "pci=noacpi" before returning to static orange. Sort of like so close yet so far away!

I have no idea what most of that stuff means but I hope you do I have also been using Google quite a bit to see if I can find any similar instances where this problem has been found and resolved. Quite a bit on this particular series of HP laptops but with different motherboards.

[pytheas22]

Thanks again for the information. I do see some more interesting stuff in there about IRQ issues. It looks like several of your devices are having them, but in all cases except the wireless card the drivers are able to work around them.

I should have asked for this earlier as well, but it would be good to see the actual IRQ assignments. What is the output of:

cat /proc/interrupts

Also, have you tried playing around with your BIOS options at all? I would first disable any components of the system you don't use (like serial ports if you have them), which might free up IRQs and solve the issue. If your BIOS is good enough to let you assign IRQs manually, that would be great; in that case, you should be able to assign IRQs to your devices individually to make sure there are no conflicts.

Finally, another thought I've had is whether the STA driver might be able to deal with these IRQ problems better than the b43 driver. You wrote that you have the STA driver blacklisted, but did you actually try it? If not, it would be worth it to black the b43 and ssb drivers, reboot and then try the STA driver. (If you blacklist only b43 and leave ssb active, ssb will probably still claim the device and prevent the STA driver from driving it.)

[KemKev]

I am currently at work and will provide the output of the command you requested once I get home.

In the interim, I did try the STA driver immediately after installing and reinstalling the OS. Unfortunately, that did nothing and I did read in various places on the internet that it was incompatible with the BCM 4311.

As for the laptop's BIOS, I did have a look but besides a few generic things such as system date, time, and bootup sequence, there is not much else in there for user configuration. In other words, I cannot enable or disable any components.

Incidentally, does the fact that my USB peripherals are working fine suggest there is some IRQ allocation going on?

That fact that the blue light flashes with certain options makes me think we are close, but just missing that one piece of the puzzle to pull this off.

[pytheas22]

Too bad about the BIOS...unfortunately many these days don't provide very many useful features at all.

Broadcom's website says the STA driver should support bcm4311 chips. Before giving up entirely on that potential solution, please let me know the output of:

lspci -nn

so we'll know your exact wireless chipset and can look up whether the STA module will claim it. Perhaps before it wasn't working simply because it wasn't activated or the ssb module was still claiming the device.

[KemKev]
