The spurious 8259A interrupt error is an incredibly common and
non-dangerous error message. Most likely it is caused by the
uniprocessor APIC (Advanced Programmable Interupt Conrtoller) linux
code. It's really not dangerous or bad or anything. But if you really
do want to get rid of it, try recompiling the kernel without
uniprocessor APIC support ("Local APIC support on uniprocessors" in make
menuconfig). This should get rid of the message.
