okay, so that looks to me like an irq-line which fires
without having any driver attached to handle it ...

the question now is, whether this is a hardware problem
(broken apic controller) or a software bug, i.e. something
enabling an interrupt without providing the proper
interrupt handler ...

nevertheless, this doesn't seem Linux-VServer related,
as I find numerous pages reporting similar on a simple
google search (for kernel 2.6.23-2.6.29)

anyway, could you also provide the /proc/interrupts
contents (just curious :)?

best,
Herbert
