This has nothing to do with the printer. I have the printer and it's irq disabled in the pc bios and removed from the kernel and I still get it. It comes out when either an external or internal modem is used. This has been around for many many years and makes FBSD look like an inferior operating system. There has been more that enough time to correct this bogus message. Just because it causes no outward errors is not an acceptable reason to let it continue year after year and release after release. If you want a good laugh read the FBSD FAQ on the irq7 message. If everybody would submit a software bug report maybe the pressure of notoriety will get some action. Go to http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html and report it. I have. Lets get it fixed in 5.0 when it comes out. Let the maintainers know what you think. You the users have a voice, let it be heard. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Brendan McAlpine Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 10:22 AM To: Dale Morris; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: stray irq message I used to get this message a lot on my box. In my case, the problem was with the parallel port. I didn't have a printer set up, but the port was turned on in the bios and configured in the kernel, so it caused some problems. I just turned off the port and the problem disappeared.
