I have the same type of thing.  I thought it was just me and
understanding a new system.  My ethernet card and video card want to
share the same IRQ no matter what.  I disabled the IRQ for the video
card and they just both changed to a different IRQ, but both the same
one (per windows and linux only shows the ethernet card, so no X for
me).  The video is onboard and ethernet card is PCI (I tried switching
PCI slots too).  This is on an IBM 300GL system and Red Hat 6.1.  I
haven't tried Mandrake on the IBM system because I am waiting for my 7.x
cd.  I'll try Mandrake 6.1 and see what it does with it and report back.

Your IDE is onboard and the ethernet is PCI.  What system are you
running this on?  Someone else on the list was reporting a problem with
video on an IBM 300PL. Maybe it's the same as my problem?
