Well, I gotta say it. I've found that I'm best served if I
approach problems as caused by user, hardware, OS. In that order.
It seems to me, people who have the most problems, tend to try and
approach them in just the opposite order.
Your best source for getting IRQ's sorted out is your mainboard's
documentation. Many board manufacturers specify which slots various
cards should be in, depending on the combination of cards used. You
might have to go as far as d/l'ing the technical docs and studying them.
Next best bet would be to email your board's tech. support and ask them
for assistance.
I suspect your hardware is OK, but it's not configured properly.
Which is a user error, right ? In any event, after you've become
intimate with your hardware and it's configuration, I believe you'll
get better help on the LM expert list, or from the linux setup and
hardware newsgroups.
