| |
When using kvm with a serial console, the serial driver will print out "too much work for irq4" on any heavy activity (ie vi on a file repainting the terminal). This message is entirely spurious, as output continues to work fine. Remove the message as it corrupts screen output and is far too easy to trigger.
