'No irq handler for vector' and 'Unknown chip XID 641' at Boot

Post by mCow »

Whenever I boot into Linux Mint the following messages display:

[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 1.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 2.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 3.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 4.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 5.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 6.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 7.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 8.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 9.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 0.320269] do_IRQ: 10.55 No irq handler for vector
[ 1.052430] r8169 0000:2a:00.0: unknown chip XID 641

After 5-10 seconds however these will disappear, and I will boot normally into Linux Mint. Are these errors, and if so how can I fix them?

Please read the forum rules with attention to sect 5. Information about the system you are using is required so others can help you. The errors above refer to new hardware using a newer Ryzen cpu.

Code: Select all

 1.052430] r8169 0000:2a:00.0: unknown chip XID 641
refers to an ethernet chipset. Try updating your kernel to see if it fixes the problem.
Please do the following..
In terminal copy & paste the following command and post the results back here in between the code display brackets </> 5th icon above the text box.

I will look into updating my kernel, but before I do so do you have any advice for this so I don't mess up something (I am completely new to Linux, and I worry that I might mess something up installing any kernel update haha).

Because you have a later system running, you could try installing the edge.iso version. To update your kernel click on the Update icon on the taskbar ans select refresh then update then reboot after the update completion.
D/L the edge.iso version, then boot into that and see what happens.
