AW: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7?



I believe I saw in SuSE perhaps the possibility to use the parallel port in 
polling mode - so maybe you should change your config to NOT USE interrupts.
Sorry, I can´t access a linux machine right now, so I can´t help any further.
Have a look  at the parallel drivers section - howto and so on.

So I think you are saying it is ok to have the spurious interrupt.. the 
only issue is hosing the console?  I am worried about having the 
interrupt... I can live w/ hosing the console till that gets fixed.
