I'm seeing a problem with ethernet driver (e1000) on 2.6.5-rc2-mm4, here the 
syslog excerpt:

Mar 27 18:39:23 kefk kernel: Disabling IRQ #18
===========================

I've seen the same problem on -mm3, but that version has other problems that 
prevents me to do more tests.

A similar issue was present in earlier kernel when I've tried to use SATA 
driver compiled as modules, same behaviour, solved by compiling SATA driver 
as built-in, not as module. (I've both normal ATA and SATA controllers active 
on my mb)

under 2.6.5-rc2-mm1, this is the output of cat /proc/interrupts; as you can 
see there is also a nvidia module, but the problem arises event without that 
module. irq 18 is shared between eth0,libata and uhci_hcd.

[root@kefk root]# cat /proc/interrupts

 19:         55          0   IO-APIC-level  uhci_hcd
 22:        279          0   IO-APIC-level  aic7xxx
 23:          0          0   IO-APIC-level  ehci_hcd
NMI:          0          0
LOC:    1002427    1002439

The MB is a ABIT IC7-G (i875p) ICH5, the kernel is compiled with SMP/SMT 
support active.

Please let me know if more details are needed.

A small question, not related to the above issue:
reverting 4k-stacks-always-on.patch can lead to problems or it's safe? I've to 
run nvidia binary driver so I've to use 8k instead of 4k; it would be better 
(for my standpoint) to have the possibility to disable 4k from config, but to 
do so I've to revert this patch. Apart from losing time to do a patch -R :), 
using 8k can be a problem?

Many thanks for any answer.
