I am only guessing here, I don't have the experience to be sure: If the PCI bus is on IRQ 11 then all PCI devices must also be on IRQ 11 except for the PCMCIA ethernet card (my ethernet card is on IRQ 3 my sound card (Not PCI) is on IRQ 5) My video card, USB controller as well as the CardBus bridge (PCMCIA) all live quite happily on IRQ 11 however they all have different memory addresses (a memory address looks something like; 0xfcfff000).
You said earlier you were running windows? Go to the control panel and print the devices to your printer, this should give you the IRQ's and memory addresses that windows uses. Check the windows output against /bin/dmesg perhaps your memory adresses overlap? Does windows put the sound card on IRQ 11? Failing this contact the authors of the drivers, their contact adresses should be listed in the kernel documentaion. Send a detailed description of your problem, give them all the information you can. I reccomend sending detailed reports to the sound card maintainer, the cardbus maintainer, the ethernet card driver maintainer as well as possibly the video card maintainer. Here's a test for you: without X windows running use mpg123 or something similar to play sound whilst sending / copying files across your network until it locks up, just to eliminate the possibility of it having something to do with the video card driver (be prepared to spend some time doing this to make sure). The driver maintainers will have a good understanding of IRQ's, memory adresses and the like and will be able to soon tell if its only some simple problem. Best of luck, Peter Firmstone.
