I had a bizarre IRQ storm on IRQ 10 for a DL 180 (or 185?) recently that I didn't fully figure out. The box had two bge(4) interfaces and if I manually disabled the driver for either one (didn't matter which one) the IRQ storm went away. I haven't been able to chase it down further, but it doesn't act like a normal IRQ storm (the storm should have "stayed" with a given device). -- John Baldwin
