Here is what I have for "irq". It looks like irq 22 is being overused. $ dmesg | grep irq ioapic0 <Version 1.1> irqs 0-23 on motherboard ohci0: <OHCI (generic) USB controller> mem 0xfc003000-0xfc003fff irq 22 at device 2.0 on pci0 ohci1: <OHCI (generic) USB controller> mem 0xfc004000-0xfc004fff irq 21 at device 2.1 on pci0 ehci0: <EHCI (generic) USB 2.0 controller> mem 0xfc005000-0xfc0050ff irq 20 at device 2.2 on pci0 pcm0: <nVidia nForce3 250> port 0xe000-0xe07f,0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xfc001000-0xfc001fff irq 22 at device 6.0 on pci0 nvidia0: <GeForce FX 5500> mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff,0xf8000000-0xf8ffffff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1 skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xc000-0xc0ff mem 0xfb000000-0xfb003fff irq 19 at device 11.0 on pci2 fdc0: <floppy drive controller> port 0x3f7,0x3f0-0x3f5 irq 6 drq 2 on acpi0 sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0 sio1: <16550A-compatible COM port> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on acpi0 ppc0: <Standard parallel printer port> port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on acpi0 atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x64,0x60 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
