> spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

I just saw that very message on an old 486 I was refurbishing.  However,
I saw it during boot.  I had to find all the old DOS programs to
manually set the IRQ and IO addresses of all the ISA NIC cards I had in
the box, AND disable their PNP features.  Once I did that (i.e. made
sure there were no conflicting IRQs) the message went away (and all the
cards magically worked, too!).  I don't know what sort of laptop you
have, but I would suggest looking into how the IRQs are being assigned.
(BIOS?  PNP?  Manual jumpers?  Software settings?)

Regards,
Jim
