Thanks > > James James/Dave, Thanks for the clue... all 4 PCI IRQs on my IBM TP A20m were set to 11 also... I changed them to auto-select; but that just used 11 again. So, I forced them to 5, 9, 10 & 11 -- there were others available; but some put up a yellow asterisk (anybody know what IBM might mean by those?) so I avoided them. Now, eth0 and CS46xx are listed in /proc/interrupts -- they weren't even there before the change... Hope to know soon if that'll fix my sound problems after suspend/resume. Pierre
