irq 169: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
First of all, I don't know if I should place it under the linux suse distribution or others, because, yes I run OpenSuse 10.1, but I'm using the the jacklab-update. (kernel 2.6.17-jad1-smp)
Sometimes, during the boot process, I get:
showing all locks held by (IRQ 169/1403 [ef3e50f0, 58])
followed or preceded by:
irq 169: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
It prints a whole bunch of other stuff, but it loops to fast to read and write it all on a sheet of paper. (HINT: If someone could tell me where I can find a log of the boot mesages, I would be very grateful
and also be able to post the detailed message)
The system keeps repeating those messages until I press the reset-button, and usually my system boots up the second time without problems.
Also I found a lot of things about "irq 169: nobody cared", but all for specific distros, so it would be nice if there was some kind of distro-indepent troubleshooting guide for this kind of problem.

Well, it seems I solved it myself...
I installed ndiswrapper to configure my Wireless NIC and next time I booted, I didn't receive that strange message about irq 169
Instead I received it for irq 177
