Problems getting devfsd patched in 2.2.19 :-( - and I'm going on vacation in shortly... Now after the last couple of "lost interrupts" I set a debian-stable as my primary firewall/router box in front of my server - this way I got rid of the second nic and freed both slot 4 and 5. Unfortunately, after a couple hours running my box again lost irq :-(. And there's no obvious huge transfer going on. The boxes were just alone. Now I try again noapic (different setup). Hope that works. Otherwise I'm kind of lost... -- Tschoe, Get my gpg-public-key here Jens http://gecius.de/gpg-key.txt
