I upgraded my VDR system from SuSE 9.2 with vanilla kernel 2.6.11
to SuSE 9.3 with SuSE kernel 2.6.11.4-20a-default.
In both cases I use the DVB drivers that came with the kernel.
With the SuSE kernel, I am getting "irq 7: nobody cared" quite
often (18 times yesterday). Here is the latest:

Apr 18 09:53:25 vdr kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
I was running vdr, which was idle (not recording), at that time.
IRQ7 is my second budget card:

What would be the best thing to try?
Go back to standard kernel 2.6.11?
Install latest CVS DVB drivers under SuSE kernel?
Thanks for any hints!
Carsten.
