I'm recieving from time to time such messages:
What could cause such messages? How can I at least disable these messages which are posted on all terminals?

Hi...

Interrupt Request Line (IRQ) are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor.

Therefore, what I probably make out from the output is that a device has been assigned an IRQ which is clashing with the IRQ of another device, therefore the kernel disables that IRQ and logs the output.

Thanks, but how can I figure out what divices are using IRQ 17

You can try and use the command --

dmesg | grep "irq 14"

OR

dmesg | grep "IRQ 17"

See if you can get some useful output.

ok, what I've had:

$ dmesg | grep -i "irq.*17"
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
saa7134[0]: found at 0000:00:0a.0, rev: 1, irq: 17, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe6001000

I have tv tuner on irq 17, but why I'm recieving

Message from syslogd@localhost at Sat Jul 8 18:29:58 2006 ...
