Wild interrupt detection, and ATI bus mouse

[David Gaudine <david@annette.concordia.ca>]

My ATI bus mouse doesn't work, with either GPM or X.  But first, what does
"Wild interrupt detection" mean?  While booting I get the message
   Wild interrupts found: 5
The message is generated by setserial, in /etc/rc.boot/0setserial.
It's interesting that IRQ5 is the interrupt of the non-working mouse.
I can't find any conflicting device, and the mouse works fine with
Windows 95 and ATI's test program.

Because of the above message, I imagine that my problems begin before gpm
is even started.  However, I'll mention a few details;
- I compiled the kernel with ati bus mouse support
- /dev/mouse points to /dev/atibm which looks like
  crw-------   1 root     sys       10,   3 Oct 12 14:38 atibm
- I run "gpm -t bm" or "gpm -t bm -m /dev/atibm
- The message returned by gpm is
   /dev/mouse: no such device   (or /dev/atibm: no such device)
