A PCI adapter has requested a hardware interrupt that is not available.
Action:
1. Make sure that the PCI adapter and all other adapters are set correctly in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. If the interrupt resource settings are not
correct, change the settings. For information about using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, see “PCI Slot/Device Information” on
page 28.
2. If all interrupts are being used by other adapters, you might need to remove an
adapter to make an interrupt available to the PCI adapter, or force other
adapters to share an interrupt. For information about removing adapters, see
“Working with adapters” on page 53. For information about setting interrupts,
see “PCI Slot/Device Information” on page 28.
