Thanks John,

i fixed the problem. I use the ss20011025 with the ROM model.

As described the ISR_vector_table became now a pointer which is set in  
_ISR_Handler_initialization (which is different to 4.5.1). In your version 
ISR_vector_table is a static array.
But the table is already used by set_vector in Spurious_Initialize. Which is 
called in start before boot_card is called where somewhere 
_ISR_Handler_initialization is called.
On boot the ISR_vector_table pointer is zero and so the spurious vectors 
where written right into my processor interrupt table.

I fixed the error in ...

void Spurious_Initialize(void)
{
  rtems_vector_number vector;

  for ( vector = 0x0 ; vector <= 0xFF ; vector++ )
    (void) set_vector( Spurious_Isr, vector, 0 );
}

The set_vector type parameter (the last one) became zero for initialize just 
the raw vectors and not the ISR_vector_table.
