I'm not seeing any stray interrupts, either: [73]~ >uptime 11:58AM up 15:41, 5 users, load averages: 2.89, 2.56, 2.36 [74]~ >vmstat -i interrupt total rate stray irq7 1 0 ahc0 irq5 295768 5 mux irq11 1499613 26 mux irq10 7155313 126 fdc0 irq6 1 0 atkbd0 irq1 19380 0 psm0 irq12 630291 11 ppc0 irq7 1 0 clk irq0 5645002 99 Total 15245370 270 I am a tad suspicious of sharing interrupts with the SB Live card, though.
