It looks like this error comes from the interrupt allocation code.  The
IRQ probing code in 3c503 has been wrong for a long time but somehow
managed to work.  Now it will fail.

If you know which IRQ the hardware is using, please try running:

    rmmod 3c503
    modprobe 3c503 irq=<n>

(substitute the proper number for '<n>').

I will continue investigating whether the IRQ probing code can be fixed.

Ben.
