DB If you *have* an lpt controller and dont need the IRQ you could turn it on and enable the lpt driver in the kernel, that usually seems to take care of it on systems I had this message on. For this reason I usually leave lpt stuff enabled on systems even I'm unlikely to need the parallel port.. The other obvious alternative is to grep for it in the source and comment the printf.

Actually, one of my systems stopped doing it a few months back, I have no clue why. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.

At least that's what I've seen when I have hardware that is like this. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Having said that, our search tools are less than marvellous. 8( Why is it "normal" to send hundreds of messages to the console? The term "stray" implies abnormal. It's "normal" insofar as countless PC motherboards generate these spurious interrupts. However, we're anal enough to consider spurious interrupts "abnormal", and we kvetch about them.
