I go to try an UP kernel today, but I make no promises. I changed today these three config line in the running, but crashing kernel: options HZ=1000 options PQ_CACHESIZE=256 options AUTO_EOI_1 I commented them all out because I suspect them causing trouble. But this kernel does not boot anymore, it gets stuck at the same place (showing amrd0 raid is ok) as the other ones. The nasty thing is I can not downgrade to 4.8 because I used UFS2, so I'm highly interested in getting this weird TYAN Thunder 2500 SMP system to work. I remember myself that the first occurence of those massive IRQ problems occured after one of the AMI/LSI RAID BIOS updates, which where necessary due to problems with IBM harddrives. Please be aware that I have the newest BIOS installed (but the problems where present with the previous ones also). I'll send you dmesg output with UP kernel if it works. I remember myself about a kernel boot option to force the loader to tell the kernel to boot more verbose. Can you tell me this option? I think it will be more suitable to get a verbose kernel log than this short one ...
