IRQ conflict between both > adapters? The thought had crossed my mind considering I have had IRQ conflict problems before on this particular machine. You indeed pointed that out at the time. The cards this time however are set at different IRQ Priority ( I still have no idea what the "priority") means in the BIOS but I do know that if I leave this particular setting in "auto" the entire machine freezes when rtnet goes up. For some reason this machine seems to have kamakaze tendencies when it comes to assigning IRQ's. My problem, I shamefully have to confess, is even though the thought crossed my mind, I have no idea how to figure out what IRQ's are assigned to the cards, how to obtain warnings to this effect and how to rectify the matter. The latter being probably the least of my worries for now, I might be able to jippo in the BIOS until I get something that works. >Check the kernel console to confirm my assumption, there >should be a warning message. Just to make sure you no longer feel like you are reading a LKML thread here's a newbie question: What is the kernel console and how do I check it? :) > Besides shared _hardware_ resources, there is no further conflict to be > expected. Thanks. I don't know whether you noticed but you have joined a thread that has spontaneously ignited. I'm still frantically trying to beat out the flames..... :) Roland. > > Jan > > > PS: This thread made me feel like I were reading LKML - is this a good > or a bad sign...? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
