I have a question in general concerning IRQ's and the way they are handled inside
Linux ....
I'm swapping HDisks for testing different Configurations. IRQ's are fixed inside Bios
setup So Win98 is
able to share IRQ's other OS like Novell will not .
What is Linux doing ? I'm afraid it wouldn't do it; am I right ?
In most configurations ( I myself ) the IRQ 5 is used by another device (3Com NIC )
than SB so my PCI
SBLive is running with IRQ 10 sharing the IRQ TOGETHER with my PCI Video card.
it runs with Win98 but what about sharing in Linux?
