I'm not hooking IRQ 0; rather, it's the IRQ that pci bus 0 happens to route to, irq 10. However, if I hook all of 3,4,5,7,9,10,12,14,15 I get a system that panics on a *very* regular basis. With that list, the system will almost always panic within an hour. I suppose its fortunate that I don't have really strong crypto needs, but this seems odd.
