Even without Kenneth's response I would have to say "no" since I tested it.

I'm pleased and plan to move my upgrades schedules up.

Interestingly before going to an ELF kernel my system had:

Oct 18 07:58:26 <kern.err> local /kernel: stray irq 7
Oct 18 07:59:20 <kern.err> local last message repeated 3 times
Oct 18 07:59:20 <kern.crit> local /kernel: too many stray irq 7's; not
logging any more

Forget the why and how of this ugly problem, which it doesn't seem to be
(this time at least).  Strangly it would happen after a reboot, but nothing
was going on.  Only running the basic daemons, no sendmail, no crons, no
network activity, and I never logged in (have to sleep now and again).
Immediately after changing the kernel to ELF, poof!  Gone.  Only 3.0
release did this, never ever have I seen this on this box and it's been
around since 2.1.5 with same hardware, barring a CPU fan and a change from
a P133 -> P166 laying around.

Odd thing since there is nothing using it and lpt0 is not compiled in the
kernel, nor does the BIOS have the parallel port enabled.
