It appears from your dmesg that your have both a lpt0 and the soundblaster working on irq7. That's not possible, you can't share interrupts like that. Secondly, from what you say above, your modem is on COM3, right? That's really a useless description. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm trying to tell you that you have to set the sio numbers using two _real_ values: an irq, and an ioaddr. Go back to your documentation on your Sportster and find out what ioaddr and irq are being used, then boot with the -c flag, and set those values for sio2. Keep in mind that you can't share interrupts. It can be done, but only on cards that have the interrupt sharing hardware onboard, because the AT bus doesn't allow it. My async card has 8 UARTS on it, and all of the irqs are being shared oncard, but I still can't share interrupts outside of that card. Examine your system carefully, that chances are extremely high that you are illegally sharing either an interrupt or an ioaddr. ============================================================================ Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu -- I run FreeBSD on n3lxx and Journey2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dilbert Zone is Dilbert's new WWW home!
