"This message is also informational and prints as a result of a 32bit or 64bitkernel. The EIRR (External Interrupt Request Register) was reported when aprocessor or interrupt handler started and the kernel detected the bit 32 was 1"

Zhanna,
no points for this second posting , please.

You don't specify OS, so this patch may be applicable:

PHKL_22684 - s700_800 11.00 fix unexpected interrupt msg

"If this error is reported only during bootup then you can ignore this
message. This will most likely happen if an external hardware device
raises an interrupt bit before the kernel has a chance to poll the cards
to set up the appropriate drivers to service those interrupts."
I got this information from HP Moscow.
