Dell Vostro 3500 Kerel Panic

Receiving a Kernel Panic (Caps and Num Lock flashing) once in a while on my laptop.

From /var/log/messages the lockup comes from:

kernel:    53.350841] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

Any ideas?

Dell replaced the laptop with a brand new 3500. Everything is working great now. Seems to have been a hardware problem.

Thanks. :slight_smile:
