Yes - the spurious interrupt looks innocuous (I do see it in my normal 
debian install as well, just in different places). Other web sites refer 
to it saying that you can probably identify the source/resolve it, but 
that it probably won't fix your real problem.  :-)  :-(

I'm thinking there is an issue with the ATA100 driver/autoconfig...
