Re: More on Spurious Interrupt

Some of these boxes are running VMware. On one box we shut down applications running VM ware and killed the daemons that start up at boot up. We still get spurious interrupts at about the same time interval. The problem with VM was interesting. Since this is a Linux install running VM ware to
