Another note: If you don't need serial ports, disable them. You might be able to enable USB and still disable its IRQ in the BIOS as well. Disable all unneeded parallel ports. If he doesn't have any devices on the floppy controller (e.g., I don't have a floppy drive in my system), disable it. Same goes for any BIOS-controlled devices. You might be able to get around the IRQ conflict by just disabling serial ports (how long has it been since I used of those, anyway?). -- Asheesh.
