"No irq handler for vector" local system messages after system upgrade to 15.4

English Install/Boot/Login

I upgraded from 15.3 to 15.4 via x86_64 DVD. The install went fine, system is stable, but I get the following local system message at every start up:

If this is something to worry about, then I have included some system info:

Thanks in advance.

The unknown vector 55 reports are mostly for AMD, you did not provide any details of your system so it is impossible to say whether you have the same issue.

This is believed to be a BIOS bug so BIOS update (or possibly alternative BIOS if exists) may fix it. As long as you do not have any actual problems you can ignore these messages. You can attempt to report it to your vendor.

OK, thanks, I’ll contact ASUS about this to make sure, but I believe it has something to do with the (slate 32gb) USB drive. I’ve been going back and forth between public computers (and my recently working PC) with the same USB drive.

When I decided to get a new SSD, I copied .mozilla and .thunderbird folders to this USB drive. Last night when I attempted to trash these folders from the USB drive, a konsole pop in then out with the same “no irq handler for vector” messages and the system also stalled at points until I pulled the USB. The public computers also stalled when I attempted to erase .mozilla and .thunderbird - until I pulled the drive.

My plan is to reformat this drive / use a different USB. I’m wondering if slate 32gb USB has caused this issue - whether or not it’s plugged in. If this USB has caused the problem, is a bios update the only way to fix it?

USB sticks have limited write life. In general they do not have things like run leveling to increase life like a true SSD ie they ware-out pretty fast. :’(

And this stick has been through hell, but I still think it did something to make that “no irq handler…” message to be more pronounced.

BTW: I chatted with an ASUS Tech who said, and I quote: “As I check, there is no BIOS update related to OpenSuse…” Since my system is otherwise stable, I’m not going to worry any further.
