Hi Dirk,

something, what we had both in oure traces was:

You wrote:
Feb  3 19:01:13 CB1 kernel: Assuming someone else called the IRQ

I saw in the Forum that this can happen, if the card use a shared interrupt 
and there is an error.

This is managed by ACPI. You can see the correct start in 
/var/log/boot.msg in the first part.

And I had there errors during start up! Now I updated my Bios and the errors 
there (with ACPI during start up) are solved. 

But, I brought my SMC2835 back to the store to get an new one. The temperature 
was very high and under windows I saw "hang ups", too. I think ?
Bing didn't run any more. 

Now, I am not shure, what the problem is or was. I have to wait 6-8 week for 
the new card 8-(.

I will report, if I have a new one.

best regards

Tobias
