Re: Disabling IRQ #11 - Nobody Cares

Hi,

I had the same problem on a Toshiba M45 S331.
The problem did not appear when I booted with ACPI=off or
alternatively
did not load the ieee1394 (firwire) module.

The problem with my Notebook was not SuSE related, but Toshiba provids
a
not standard conform ACPI/DSDT which confused the kernel...

Another possibility is, if you have a good BIOS (and know what you are

doing), try to change the IRQ settings...
