For what it's worth I'll chime in with my own info on this subject.
I also see the
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
messages from time to time. Actually I got one just a little while ago :
$ dmesg | grep spurious
[18994.222451] spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
The system seems to be in good shape - it has never caused me any
actual trouble.
As for the via irq fixup I see this :
$ dmesg | grep -i fixup
[ 74.629393] PCI: Via PIC IRQ fixup for 0000:00:09.0, from 255 to 3
The hardware is a ASUS A7M266 mobo with a AMD Athlon (t-bird) 1.4GHz CPU.
The kernel is 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 :
$ uname -a
Linux dragon 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 #2 Mon May 16 18:14:13 CEST 2005 i686
unknown unknown GNU/Linux
I've seen some references to APIC for this issue, so here are the APIC
related settings in my .config :
juhl@dragon:~/download/kernel/linux-2.6.12-rc4-mm2$ grep -i APIC .config
CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y
# CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set
