What does ``stray IRQ'' mean? Stray IRQs are indications of hardware IRQ glitches, mostly from hardware that removes its interrupt request in the middle of the interrupt request acknowledge cycle. One has two options for dealing with this: * Live with the warnings. All except the first 5 per irq are suppressed anyway. * Break the warnings by changing 5 to 0 in isa_strayintr() so that all the warnings are suppressed. To stop the annoying bogus stray irq 7 messages you can hack the source where these messages originate from and change the counter value 5 to 0 so the messages will no longer be issued. isa_strayintr lives in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/intr_machdep.c cd /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/ cp intr_machdep.c intr_machdep.c.org # make bkup of original ee intr_machdep.c Find isa_strayintr to locate start of stray irq 7 logic change this if (intrcnt[1 + intr] <= 5) To this if (intrcnt[1 + intr] <= 0) Recompile your kernel source, reboot and those stray irq 7 messages are gone. Document this some place for your self just in case you reinstall from cdrom. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Charley Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 9:19 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Mailing List Subject: Stray IRQ's Alrighty...I've got 4.8-RELEASE on a Compaq ProLiant 5000R (Quad Pentium Pros and SMART2/P RAID). The system keeps complaining about "Stray IRQ 7". I can't seem to find a reference for this and I have no idea what needs fixing. Help?
