After reinstalling the nvidia driver for kernel 2.6.9-42-EL and doing a startx command from lvl 3, the x window software issues a failed to get interupt from graphics driver. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver again and got the same results. I changed back to the previous kernel and reinstalled the nvidia driver and the problem went away. I am at wonder why this would happen with a kernel upgrade from centos. > > At the risk of cliche, it works for me, though I'm using a Geforce 3 > ti-500. the Xrender extension was causing some locking issues though. > Removing the optional xrender stopped module from causing kernel > panics.

I added pci=noacpi pci=biosirq to the kernel in the grub.conf. The kernel now loads without the lost interupt message. Thanks for all your suggestions. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA.
