SYMPTOMS

When attempting to run any application located on a Netware server by way of the Gateway Service for Netware, the Netware server may stop responding (hang) and display the following message:

1.1.141 Secondary Interrupt Controller detected a lost hardware interrupt.


CAUSE

The Netware operating system displays this message whenever it detects a lost hardware interrupt. Lost interrupts occur when a driver or a board requests a service with an interrupt call and then drops the request before the CPU can respond to the request.


RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem, the following procedure is recommended:

  1. Check for outdated drivers loading on the Netware server.


  2. Unload all the drivers and reload them one at a time to isolate which driver (and/or adapter) is causing the problem. Then contact the vendor of the driver.


  3. If the error is non-fatal, the message can be turned off by using the following command either in the STARTUP.NCF file or from the command prompt:
    set display lost interrupt alerts=off
