He has taken all the cards using >interrupt 7 out of the machine, and disabled the printer port (which also >used interupt 7). I am using NetBSD-0.9, and I'm getting this ISABLURB nearly every 5 min. It doesn't however crash the machine - but I don't think its Ok. Someone (here or in the FAQ) said something about a) patching the kernel, so that he doesn't bother about it b) installing lpd, so that he handels the situation. First I thought that this STRAYINTR was a real one - caused by my dumb old IO-card, but I replaced it lately -- no change however. I saw a lot of articles concerning this thing, and this seems to be a problem of both Free and Net, so perhaps one of the developpers could tell us if they have any idea of what card causes this "STRAYINTR" -- or does the Interrupt Controller itself send an IRQ7 by accident ;-) Thanks in advance.
