Surely some broken hardware, but not necesarily someone at IRQ 7. IRQ 7 is the "last option" for the interrupt controller. It's used when a interrupt has happened but it does not know which. Everytime this happened to me it was a cheap and faulty IDE controller, but I think an older parallel port can also generate this. // // Doug White | University of Oregon // Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant // http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major // // Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@cisi.coppe.ufrj.br Network Manager UFRJ/COPPE/CISI Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
