This shouldn't happen unless there are some misconfiguration problems. I can't remember who, but another person had lots of these types of problems and it turned out to be some other problem completely, due to out-of-date kernel sources. Basically, due to the way interrupts are done, nothing bad can happen in this case if everything on your hardware is correct. If you've got bad hardware, then this only points to a problem, and IMHO should NOT be worked around since problems may occur later and more randomly. Nate
