Xen prints information about the interrupt routing when it starts, you can read this information with xm dmesg. Also lspci -v should show for each device not hidden from dom0 which interrupt is used by the device. FWIW, I've seen "irq nobody cared" on the IRQ assigned to the USB controller and a kernel without USB support. > Am I correct in that the interrupt that should have been sent to the > driver domain was instead sent to dom0? or what happened?

If there's a 2nd device on IRQ 18 and this device is not hidden from dom0 and the 2nd device gets an interrupt, it will go to dom0. This should be harmless but apparently, it's not. christian ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.
