Virtex® Family FPGAs

I' using ml507 board and trying to implement interrupt handling using Xilkernel. My design is simple and includes Interrupt Controll and GPIO 5 Buttons and something else. I'm following the document "Using EDK to RunXilkernel on a PowerPC440 Processor" and facing several problems.

1. I can't see the following messages in console as in the example:

XMK: Initializing interrupt controller

XMK: Connecting timer interrupt

XMK: Starting the interrupt controller

XMK: Initializing PIT device.

XMK: System initialization...

XMK: Enabling interrupts and starting system...

I just can see this:

XMK: Starting kernel.

XMK: Initializing Hardware.

XMK: System initialization.

XMK: Process scheduling starts.

Is it enought for interrupt handling?

2. Next I used register_int_handler(), enable_interrupt() and enabled Global Interrupt Enable Register and IP Interrupt Enable in the GPIO Core. Interrupt handler contains just 1 line of code with call print() function. When I press the button once I can see an endless output of that interrupt handler.

Should I reset an interrupt manually and where? What I'm doing wrong?
