I have an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, with two drivers on the ICH5 sata
controllers. It is a 3Ghz cpu using HT.
I use the normal PIIX ide drivers for the pata channels, and libata for
the sata ones. I also use the vector based interrupts. Kernel is
2.6.1-bk4.
Anyhow, I do not think the interrupt count is _that_ high, as it shares
with usb and network and I cannot complain of problems with cdrom, etc,
but I decided to try the patch anyhow. It have some interesting results
though. First, network stops responding after a few minutes of uptime
(especially easy to reproduce if you have heavy network traffic), then
for some reason you cannot start a new program/login/etc, but those
running seems Ok, and lastly X becomes totally unresponsive (although
alt-sysrq-b still do work).
