Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1993 00:10:26 GMT Message-ID: <C5yoHF.1uI@raistlin.udev.cdc.com> Sender: usenet@raistlin.udev.cdc.com (News poster) Lines: 42 I just got a new mother board for my machine and now I keep getting the following message on boot: ISA strayintr 1ff ISA strayintr 1ff ISA strayintr 1ff ISA strayintr ff Too many ISA strayintr not logging any more Note that I've seen both 1ff and ff and no other values. And they're not always in the same order. These are coming from isa.c in isa_strayintr(). There's also a big note from rgrimes stating that he's seen motherboards that generate lots of stray intr #7 s, and that this is due to bad hardware! Any help? I'm not seeing stray intr #7s, but is my new mother- board bad any way? I seem to be running absolutely fine despite these messages. My new mother board is a 486 VLB, 256K cache (20ns), 2 VLB slots, 3 16bit slots and 2 8 bit slots. AMI BIOS (boots fine), I've disabled all shadow memory, etc. I'm using all of the other component off of my old motherboard (486DX33, 8 1MB simms, aha1542b, ide controller, we0, diamond speedstar+, 8 port serial card, and 2 port serial card) My old motherboard is a 486 OPTI local bus, 256K cache (25ns), 2 OPTI slots, 6 16bit slots, AMI BIOS, disabled shadow memory, etc. The only difference is the motherboard. The only other thing that is kind of goofy is that my turbo LED and numeric display (16 or 33) is backwards. eg when I'm really running at 33MHz, the LED is not lit and the display says 16. (I'd appreciate help on this one also). -- #include <std.disclaimer> #define FULL_NAME "Paul Dokas" #define EMAIL "pbd@runyon.cim.cdc.com" /* Just remember, you *WILL* die someday. */
