A
device with part number 8259A, which is a programmable interrrupt controller
used with many devices to
interface with the
system bus, has generated a unexpected Interrrupt. Asked for service without a
real request.
ie.
Noise.........
what lies around
this line in the log file may give you a clue as to what device is actually
generating the
interrrupt. If it
only happens at boot time, it is possible that the device driver has a bug in
it's
initialization
routine that generates a spurious interrrupt to the OS. It should be reported
appropriately.
If it happens all
the time while the system is running, you have a bad hardware problem or
something is
loose or improperly
connected. First ID the real source of the interrupt. The 8259A could be
on many devices
or it may be on the
MB. (more than one present.)
