Strange Terminal Message This Morning...

Hey gang. Left the T61 running all night, woke up to this:

drew@Daedalus:~$ 
Message from syslogd@Daedalus at Jun 25 02:21:01 ...
 kernel:[48787.260015] Disabling IRQ #18

Why did it feel the need to tell me?

Try to give us some more context:

sudo grep -B 100 -A 100 "Disabling IRQ #18" /var/log/syslog

I looked up the log file above, and it only had events going back to 2:52AM. Any way to see further back? I didn't get a chance to try the command right away.

Depends on how you configured syslog.
Try

sudo ls -al /var/log/syslog.*

to see if you keep older versions of syslog.

It is possible to keep syslog on a temp file system. If you do that, you lose syslog history.
