" Message from syslogd@localhost at Aug 27 08:57:53 ... kernel:Disabling IRQ #17" is the message I got on all my terminal windows at the time indicated.

What is it complaining about? What should I do about it?

I got some information from dmesg. It mentions IRQ 17, but the only error is from before the most recent hibernation.

Here are some excerpts, in order from dmesg:

google has not helped much. I note that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381331 was closed with a WONTFIX.

I also grepped dmesg for IRQ and 17. There were four distinct messages: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Intel ICH 0000:00:1f.5: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 snd_hda_intel 0000:01:00.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Disabling IRQ #17 The first and last were there once, first and last. The others alternated, eleven times each.

I think I kow what snd_hda_intel and Intel ICH are, but it doesn't help I'm really fuzzy on i801_smbus.

What is syslogd complaining about and what should I do about it?
