Hey, just a quick read at work by webmail:

IRQ sharing does suck when you are trying to achieve Realtime response. Coincidence has it that I also had the same problem some days ago with a new Board. There are several ways to solve the problem: 1) If you have more than one PCI slot, try switching the cards. The IRQ lines are on the mainboard and can't be changed. SO switching cards in the slots can help. 2) In your BIOS there are usually options to fiddle around with IRQ resource management. Try those. (except in most laptops) 3) This one worked for me: In most modern Boards/CPUs there is a new Chips for IRQ handling. Back in the XT Days there were 16 IRQ lines going into a PIC (programmable interrupt controller). These days those PICs are replaced by a so-called APIC (advanced...). If you every played around with Multiprocessor setups or dualcores you might have heard of that. Anyway. Compile your kernel to enable APIC and especially APIC-IO support. (make menuconfig --> processor type&features --> local APIC for uniprocessor --> APIC-IO support) After booting that new Kernel a simple 'cat /proc/interrupts' should list Numbers up to 24. And somewhere in dmesg there are Messages that tell you which IRQs got remapped. Using that "trick" I got rid of the IRQ conflict (from 2 USB controllers AND 2 NICs on IRQ 11 to everything on their own IRQ) I hope you have an APIC chip on your board. back to work CU Fabian -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
