I've used the spinlock Patch for a long time together with kernel 2.6.11 (gentoo) on my ACER extensa 3002 WLMi. After that i've switched to 2.6.12 where I've tried the ec_burst patches from Luming. With the kernel parameter ec_burst=1 i was able to use the system without problems. Later the patch from Luming found the way into the kernel and i thought fine for me no patching related to the interrupt issue needed any more. But on Bertholds machine it seems to be different from the situation here. For example he is able to suspend his machine (when he has success typing the needed commands :-) On my machine it is no problem typing the commands but in most cases (>90%) this is the last thing I do. We have tried to compare our machines and in fact we only found two differences Berthold has 1G and BIOS 3A10 while on my machine there are ony 512Mb with BIOS revision 3A08. Now I've tested the new sbs-cm spinlock patch with kernel 2.6.13 (gentoo) and my machine continued to work without missing keys.
