Has anyone else had >this problem? What causes it? How do I fix it? Essentially it unclean code in the area of handling the interrupt controller chips. You can't fix it, other than by uncommenting the message in the kernel sources. There is nothing wrong with your machine in general. And yes: lots of people have the same questions. :-( (You could of course do something about the interrupt code itself, but for the lack of enthousiasm on the net for doing so, I expect it is difficult for non Intel chip weenies :-) Wilko -- | / o / / _ Wilko Bulte mail: wilko@idca.tds.philips.nl |/|/ / / /( (_) |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| Equipment Corporation voice: +3155-432062 fax: +3155-432103 DTN: 829 2062 PO Box 245 - 7300 AE Apeldoorn - The Netherlands
