unexpected interrupt

[Peter Firmstone <q8902929@topaz.cqu.edu.au>]

Lance,

My appologies, I get both of the following errors: "unexpected
interrupt" & "DriveReady SeekComplete Error" and have confused the two.

As far as I know the "unexpected interrupt" is due to the apm_bios.

Perhaps you could try the kernel mailing list at kernelnotes.org, this
is a high traffic list, maybe someone there may be more informed and
know of any fixes.

Best Regards,

Peter Firmstone.

I am afraid there isn't an option in the 2.3 series kernel to fix it I
confused it with:

CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE:
x

x
x
  x If you get this error, try to say Y
here:                               x

x
x
  x hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error
}        x
  x hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError
}                      x

x
x
  x If in doubt, say N.
