If this kernel release is less than Jan 1 14:12:25 localhost kernel: three months old please report this to linux-smp.org I did send an email to "linux-smp.org", but don't expect a reply. I also felt I should report this here. The system seems to be working just fine and a google search on this doesn't show anything that I can pinpoint other than what might be in my /proc/interrupts which has the following (if it is of use): CPU0 CPU1 0: 933474 0 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 8810 0 IO-APIC-edge keyboard 2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 12: 292759 0 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse 14: 57291 1 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 302270 1 IO-APIC-edge ide1 16: 0 0 IO-APIC-level usb-uhci, usb-uhci 18: 19593 0 IO-APIC-level usb-uhci, eth0 19: 0 0 IO-APIC-level usb-uhci 22: 9294 0 IO-APIC-level cmpci NMI: 0 0 LOC: 933370 933368 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.20-24.7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
