Hello,

I have this problem with irq 7. There are many ERR interrupts as you can see in
the table below.
Count of errorneous is similar to count of radeon interrupts (since start of
system).
It appears in all kernels I tried (since 2.6.11.7).

15: 12774 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
LOC: 367136
ERR: 82119
MIS: 0

without running X, there is no ERR (and also no irq 11).
