Curiouser and curiouser. I take it everything worked fine under Ubuntu 8.04. If so, then I doubt it's any bios setting. 8.04 uses the 2.6.24 kernel, 8.10 the 2.6.27. Unless there's been a regression, I wouldn't think the new kernel would cause a problem. The kernel has been perfectly capable of managing interrupts. The PCI spec requires the OS to chain interrupts so that multiple devices and their drivers can share an interrupt. And Linux has been doing that correctly for years. So there's no real reason to require that they be on separate IRQs. Have you tried removing the nvidia driver completely and running the AFS module?
