We have all the sensors and the data system running in the staging area. We've added one Licor 7500 to what was last on the tower, for a total of 4 Licors. The data cables, and Licor power cables are different however, since the originals were left on the tower.

After setting it up, I increased the 4 Licor 7500s from 10 samples/sec at 9600 baud to 20 samples/sec at 19200 baud.

The spurious interrupts are happening, sometimes spiking to above 100:

The kernel issues a "spurious" message when they occur more often than 100/sec. The system came up at 21:44 - 1:43 = 20:01. At the time of the last message above, the system had been up for 1 hour 31 minutes. 355001 interrupts in 1 hour 31 minutes averages to 65/sec.

The above test is with the same kernel (2.6.16.28-arcom1-2-viper #1 PREEMPT Wed Sep 16 17:04:19 MDT 2009) and CPU (viper 4) as was deployed on the tower.
