Re: 2.6.24-rc2 (esthetic?) regression: auto select interrupt spams my logs

Hi Romano,

EC was changed to automatically choose it's working mode (poll vs. interrupt driven).
You see it oscillating between modes because it receives interrupts just after it 
stops waiting for them.
Please open new bug entry at bugzilla.kernel.org.
Your .config might be usefull.

Thanks,
Alex.
