| |
Hi *
I have one question: Since I´m running the new 2.2.1 on my AMD K6-2 300 3Dnow! my xosview shows me 24 Interrupts instead of the 16 Ints a "normal" i386 compatible System has.
Theese interrups arn´t in my /proc/interrupts.
In the "Kernelsetup menuconfig"--> "Processor type an Features" I disabled all Options and took "(PPro/6x86MX)" (Ok, I know, this was a fault but it´s running very well on my machine).
Is it a bug or a feature? Ok, i think it´s very nice to have 24 Interrupts (no more problems with Multimedia hardware :-) but i know that no PC Hardware is able to be set to INT >15.
Can I use them or is it just a hoax to make beginners asking questions to the linux-kernel :-) ?
