Help! Spurious interrupt

[mlazlo]

In syslog and on the screen we are receiving a notice of "NOTICE: Sdsk: Spurious interrupt". This supposedly is related to a software interrupt not being handled. The question is how do I fix this! The server is a Sco OpenServer 5.0.6 that was configured by a 3rd parth vendor of ours for their application that we run. Now this box was sent to use with irq conflicts. Here is the output from a 'hwconfig -ch':

The Sdsk which the error complains about has no assigned IRQ. Anyone have any ideas to throw out to me?
Thanks in advance.

hi,

have a look at

Now I understand but this is not helping me resolve this.

I do not believe there are any ISA devices. But after looking at what is actually needed on this server, as far as hardware is concerned, I am going to remove one of the 3 nic cards. The one that I am going to remove is having an IRQ conflict. But does SCO require the Kernel rebuilt after a hardware change??? Does anyone know the answer to this question?
