I'm not sure what the "wdc[01]: extra interrupt" error is as I don't run a dual control system - but the stray interrupts you are getting on IRQ 7 is your printer driver. In your config file (/sys/i386/conf/MACHINE_NAME), change the lines: # # Interruptless printer driver # device lpa0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty to read like the following lines: # # Interrupt driven printer driver? perhaps :) # device lpt0 at isa? port "IO_LPT1" tty irq 7 vector lptintr then just reconfig and recompile and reinstall your kernel. You will never get stray interrupts on IRQ 7 again :) Cheers Leigh -- 386BSD On a monochrome 16Mhz 386-SX with 6MB Ram & 2 40MB Drives. It works, but hey, don't install ingres or oracle on this baby!
