Hi,
This is not a critical problem, more a point of interest.
My new desktop machine reports very high interrupt rates in stats,
the bargraph on stats is stock at 100%, a count of 176000 (ints/sec ?)
I added erik's interrupt counter code and see that these are occuring
on irq 10, which my hardware ties to the SATA interface and usbuhci
(a combined Intel 82801EB/ER chipset).
the other difference between this system and my previous one is
I now have a USB keyboard and mouse (rather than PS2).
Is there a problem with my USB or is it a case of "they all do that"?
