For about 10 minutes every few hours it goes "deaf" to its net connection. This is a mail server running qmail so this behavior is not good. It doesn't look like qmail is causing the problem, and in my dmesg.today file is the folowing entry: stray irq 7 stray irq 7 stray irq 7 stray irq 7 stray irq 7 too many stray irq 7's; not logging any more I've done some research on this error message and it seems to point to printer problems or a piece of external hardware (speakers, etc.) that is causing irq problems. This wouldn't be the case for this machine as its a server. So, could the stray irq 7 messages be related to this problem or just something else going on? Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on with this machine? TIA for the help.
