Good to hear from you Joe. Apparently I am having issues with my shared IRQ's. Actually, all three pci slots on this old Gatway 2000 P5-66 use IRQ 9. (that would be the SCSI card, the graphics card, and the 1000baseT card.) I have no options on the cards locally (dip switches) of changing the card's IRQ, and the BIOS does not offer much help. The only IRQ realated options in the BIOS are to set IRQ's 9, 10, and 11 to a status of "FREE" or "USED". If I turn 9 off and 10 and/or 11 on, the pci slots still all come up with the same IRQ. When I only had the video and SCSI cards installed this error was not noticed. However, with the addition of the 100baseT ethernet card (thus using all three pci slots) this error has become more prevalent. Any thoughts? -Adam On Fri, 10 Aug 2001, Joe Clarke wrote: Hey, Adam. Looks like an IRQ conflict. Have you tried seeing if the BIOS can rearrange system resources so that these cards fall on different IRQs? Also, what version of FreeBSD is this? I have a 4.4-PRERELEASE machine with shared IRQs, and I'm not seeing any problems.
