Lots of machines give this error. 8259A is the interrupt controller (or at
least it is the chip that used to be that a long time ago). IRQ7 is usually
the parallel port, and it seems that a number of implementations give a
spurious interrupt on startup/initialization. So far as I can tell this is
something you can safely ignore. BICBW.
