Hello!

I am running 0.99pl9 and encounter the message "Wild Interrupt? (IRQ7)"
during the boot sequence.

What does this message mean? Does it indicate a hardware problem?
I have removed all boards that are jumpered to generate IRQ7 (LPT, SB)
but the message persists.

I used to ignore the message, but now I am having problems with the
kernel sounddriver (Ver 1.0b / SB 1.0 set to IRQ7).

"cat file.au > /dev/audio" will not play the whole file but rather short
"pieces" which vary everytime I execute the command.

Could this problem be related to the "Wild Interrupt" message I get at boot
time?

Ideas anyone?

-Walter
