hi guys,
I spent several hours last night moving cards around in my machine
trying to solve this problem.
The short version is that I need a PCI network and sound card
that have linux drivers which allow them to share an IRQ.
I currently have a SB PCI64 and a NetGear FA310TX (Tulip based)
which do not get along on an IRQ.
I need them to share because the BP6 has 5 PCI slots but only 3 IRQs
among them. It works like this:
AGP INT_0
PCI1 INT_0
PCI2 INT_1
PCI3 INT_2
PCI4 INT_0
PCI5 INT_0
INT_3 in the BOIS does not seem to have any effect.
My cards and their constraints are as follows (not in any order):
1. AGP TNT2 Ultra has an IRQ but does not seem to use it
2. PCI TNT requires an IRQ and seems to disturb other cards
on same IRQ (SB64 has static, FA310TX stops working)
3. PCI BT878 TV card driver will not share IRQ (black screen)
4. PCI NetGear FA310TX does not work if shared (AFAICT)
5. PCI SB64 (es1371) has terrible static if shared with TNT,
locks when shared with FA310TX
So, my only option is to find a NIC and sound card which will share.
Where do I begin?
Thanks,
Dwayne
