No, level is correct. The APIC code doesn't mask edge triggered interrupts, and if it thought IRQ 16 was edge rather than level, that could explain the high interrupt rate. Since that isn't the case I'm not sure why it's triggering so many interrupts. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
