I'm puzzled why my system is spending 1% of CPU on system interrupts when
completely idle.  I even with avery thing killed except kernel proceses top
and vmstat show 0.8% is spent servicing interrupts.  A 'vmstat -i' shows the
only interrupts set are the CLK and RTC.   Anybody come across this?  I'm
assuming it's a hardware problem.

Thanks,

Rob
