Obviously (if you think about it :), there's nothing the kernel could do about it. Unless you have misconfigured your kernel so there's no driver assigned to a device that actually issues IRQs, they are a sign of flakey hardware, often caused by glitches on an IRQ line. > As You can see there is no device assigned to this irq-channel. Of course. :) They weren't `stray' by definition otherwise (but instead, a driver like wdc1 that has no concern with them would get the IRQs). > >Fix: > > Unknown Fix your hardware. Or live with the warnings. As long as everything else continues to work, they are nothing to worry much about. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
