These messages come in at such a rateee I cant accomplish anything because it overwirtes anything I have dsplayed onm the screen I read the archives and know that the messages are due to either cable cabling or irq conflicts. I know the cable is good becaue I it was running just fine for months before now and I swapped the cable with a store bought one to be sure. The problem came when I was troubleshoting with my ISP to filter out MAC addresses other than the one I had. I had to remove the card and in the process may have messed up the irq assignments process. I belive I placed it back in the same slot but unsure. I noted there are two devices using IRQ 10...dc0 and an unknown pci0 card which I can only guess is my western digital video card but I am not certain on that. I only have the two PCI devices and no ISA ones installed. Can anyone assist here....with these messages scrolling across my screen like this it is near impossible to do a simple read of /var/log/messages Thanks and thanks to dmaddox who was greatly helpful up until I wore out my welcome with him. Sorry for missing that one email....I still can't locate the one you were talking about.
