"Out of interrupt events"

We have a development machine that will display this message after some
time. When it happens this message is displayed over and over and locks up
the machine such that it cannot be telneted into or accessed.
What does this mean and how do we troubleshoot the source of the problem?

Thanks

Welcome to the club :wink:

It means that either (1) interrupt rate is too high for CPU, (2) a buggy
interrupt handler did not clear interrupt or (3) bug in kernel. When
this happens kernel is unable to work anymore. It used to happen a lot
to us and at some point QNX promiced an option to procnto which would
tell it to reboot in such case. But of course, in that case you’d not
even know this happened and had to deal with sudden reboots :wink:

The only course of action would be to eliminate devices/drivers one by
one, until problem disappears.
