:What's with all the strange stray's? Is this normal? It doesn't seem to


    Yes, it's normal.  Notice all the counts are 0 ?  The stray interrupts
    are placeholders for unassigned and alternative irq vectors.   This is
    especially true for systems with APICs because we use a different vector
    number for SLOW vs FAST interrupts on the same irq.

Nothing to worry about then :)



:be affecting much but then it doesn't look quite right either. Where's :my fxp0 card too! Is this perhaps an ACPI issue? All I can think of


    The fxp0 card is in the 'mux' slot for irq 11, along with other cards
    sharing that interrupt.  vmstat -I is simply not traversing the MUX list
    or the sysctl isn't generating it, or something like that.


I figured maybe it was the mux one a minute ago. Don't actually know what mux is, but I had a look at my dmesg and saw my fxp card was using IRQ 11.
