Must be : something WRONG with the barsoom driver, eh? : Nope! The barsoom driver has the printf for the "extra : interrupt" uncommented. It is commented out in the other drivers. : This message can usually be safely ignored. I'm getting these every time the hard disk is being accessed. That means, i cannot even disklabel the disk. I have successfully used one of the drives (a seagate 110MB HD) with NetBSD 0.8 as well as with 386BSD. The other drive is a Conner 40MB drive (Just for testing!). No go, either. Changed the Multi I/O Board (HD,FDD,Ser,Par,Game) against a plain IDE-HD/FD Controller. Problem remains. I even don't know what that 'extra interrupt' message is trying to tell me. Occasionaly i get an 'stray intr 7', too. Might all this be related to some other hardware component ??? -- --------------------------------------------------- All opinions expressed are those of my Schwiegermutter. --------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++ Z.
