The only way you can control this is by using the functions of your BIOS. If you BIOS is very limited (like mine :( ) then there is little you can do). There is nothing in Linux that allows you to influence the allocation of IRQs. You could try to change the position of cards in slots. You could try to enable the Local APIC (by adding "lapic" to the kernel boot parameters) if this is not already enabled. Also I have observed that Linux version 2.6.14 seems to better allocate IRQs than previous versions, i.e. I have observed that there are less IRQ conflicts. -- Romain Lenglet ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
