I keep getting that in my syslog. Does not look that good.

Can you try booting with the "irqpoll" option to see if the message goes away?

[Silviu C. (silviucc)]

Did not boot with irqpoll option because of possible performance issues, but I do not see it in the log after disabling the onboard firewire controller - don't use firewire anyway.

[Jeroen Van den Keybus (jeroen-vandenkeybus)]

The Asus P8P67 uses the ASM1083 PCIe-PCI bridge, which seems to be involved in this issue. As a workaround I'm currently using a vanilla 3.2.16 kernel with the patch on https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/141.

[Leo Trubach (leotrubach)]

Hello! I had the problem when i installed geforce 210. My mouse pointer started to move with lag and some kestrokes didn't get registered when i typed quickly. After adding irqpoll option it was resolved/

[Johan Andersson (jna-jna)]

It seems this is a recurring issue, see #855199. The problem is that the irqfixup code gets broken. There is of course an underlying problem of spurious interrupts but booting with the irqpoll option should handle this. It worked for awhile but seem to have reoccured from at least kernel 3.2.0-39 in precise, possibly earlier.

I am now running quantal 3.5.0-27 and the problem remains. If the wrong IRQ gets disabled the system gets sluggish and needs rebooting. It is extremely frustrating. I am running an AMD Fusion board:
 Example dmesg output:

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Silviu C., this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
