[root@thor /root]# cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 78030234 XT-PIC timer 1: 5517 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 10: 31594636 XT-PIC gdth 12: 621 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 13: 1 XT-PIC fpu 15: 234737971 XT-PIC eth0 NMI: 0
Whoa! Does eth0 on Int15h raise a big flag in anyone else's book?!?!?!

Er, maybe. I mean, my first instinct when coming to the company mid-last year was NOT to use Linux to serve out Solaris clients (and I'm a _huge_ Linux advocate) because of NFS issues/performance.
But I hope someone can confirm (solid, i.e. no doubts -- because I have to take our sole fileserver down when I do this -- in a 24x7 production environment) that I will have problems if my NIC is on Int 15h?
