Hi, I have a question regarding the current kernel upgrade (SLES9 in this case): OLD: 2.6.5-7.252-smp NEW: 2.6.5-7.257-smp Following are some messages that differ between OLD and NEW kernel: OLD: <6>..TIMER: vector=0x21 pin1=2 pin2=-1 NEW: <6>..TIMER: vector=0x31 pin1=2 pin2=-1 OLD: <6>GSI 16 assigned vector 0x99 and IRQ 16 <7>IOAPIC[0]: Set PCI routing entry (8-16 -> 0x99 -> IRQ 16 Mode:1 Active:1) NEW: <6>GSI 16 assigned vector 0xA9 and IRQ 16 <7>IOAPIC[0]: Set PCI routing entry (8-16 -> 0xa9 -> IRQ 16 Mode:1 Active:1) [...many more of same sort...] My question is: Is this type of change expected? Is that related to "patches.fixes/x86_64-vect_share_irq"? Regards, Ulrich
