>Description:
A Dell Inspiron 530 pc hangs at boot due to an interrupt storm on int 19.
This is with NetBSD-current and 5.0_STABLE, both i386 and amd64 ports.

Here are the last few output lines from a hanging MPVERBOSE kernel:

ioapic0: int1 68<vector=68,delomde=0,dest=0> 0<target=0>
pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot
wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0=0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2
ioapic0: int6 69<vector=69,delmode=0,dest=0> 0<target=0>
timecounter: Timecounter "clockinterrupt" frequency 100 Hz quality 0
timecounter: Timecounter "TSC" frequency 2660144320 Hz quality -100

If I disable the uhci and ehci drivers in the kernel, I can get into ddb
at that point, and "show event" shows a rapidly increasing int 19, which
is where uhci2, uhci4, piixide0 and piixide1 (or ahcisata0, if I change
the disk mode in the BIOS from IDE to RAID) attach to.

Two workarounds make the system boot completely and run stable:

- disable USB in the BIOS (but it has no ps/2 so this is rather useless)

- boot -1 (UP, this is how I have been using this machine so far)

I will append dmesg and acpidump information in follow-up.

Any ideas how to fix this, so this machine can be used with USB _and_
SMP enabled?

Thanks, 

        Geert
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot GENERIC or INSTALL kernel with default settings (USB enabled in the
BIOS, SMP enabled in the kernel/bootloader) on an Inspiron 530.
