interrupt???


hello

every time I start my linux box, i get a mesage that ays:

spurious Interrupt (some number like 827x) : irq 7

nothing else happens, all hardware seems to be working (as far as I can see) but what does that mean? what is this message good for? what does it try to tell me?

and most important: how can I get rid of it?

thanks

raven

Either it's unused or overloaded is my guess.

Boot into the BIOS and try to configure your system to autoselect IRQs instead of assigning them directly.
