I didn't get a new mother board, I just upgraded to NetBSD. 386bsd .1+.2.2 gave me absolutely no ISA strayintr ff. But with NetBSD, I get so many that they are not logged anymore. When I do a iostat, strayintr make up a substatial number of interupts. I have a feeling that the error is in the kernel, but I don't know... Anyone else having this problem? I also only get strayintr ff, no 1ff... -Greg Tanaka glt@cco.caltech.edu glt@ugcs.caltech.edu glt@macross.caltech.edu (my rather unstable NetBSD host)
