I misread his comments. I thought he was trying two different drives on two different controllers simultaneously (i.e. using the multiple controller capabilities of the barsoom driver). An occasional "extra interrupt" is OK. You will probably see a couple near bootup (during fsck and the check for a core dump). If they are spewing at you continuously or whenever the disk is accessed, then you have serious problems (but you would definitely know that). -- Dan Yergeau You are in a twisty little passage yergeau@gloworm.Stanford.EDU of standards, all conflicting. #include <std.disclaimer>
