Hi all,
There seems to be a major problem with the promise drivers.
It is detected and seems to work, but there is a very
large number of interrupts being generated:
adamm@polaris:/proc$ cat interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
0: 2727665 2683676 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 1 1 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 1137650 1130539 IO-APIC-level eth0
7: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge soundblaster
8: 1812 1790 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 711977 709641 IO-APIC-level sym53c8xx, eth1
10: 2097584287 2097514818 IO-APIC-level ide2, ide3
NMI: 0 0
LOC: 5411428 5411427
ERR: 0
MIS: 3013
adamm@polaris:/proc$ uptime
12:57:30 up 15:01, 1 user, load average: 0.36, 0.35, 0.40
Or a staggering ~40000 interrupts per second!
This is a dual PPro machine and it is using 30% cpu time
just to handle the interrupts.
Anyone know what is going on?
Thanks,
Adam
