Ok, I booted into Win98 and used Compaq's diagnostics to get my IRQ list. Here's what it shows 0 - System Timer 1 - Keyboard 2 - "Programmable interrupt controller" 3 - Infared port 4 - COM1 5 - Meastro DOS Games/FM devices 6 - Floppy controller 7 - Printer port 8 - CMOS/RTC 9 - SCI IRQ used by ACPI bus 10 - None 11 - A ton of stuff 12 - Compaq EasyPoint IV 13 - Numeric data processor 14 - Primary IDE 15 - Secondary IDE So it looks like there's one free IRQ, but that will have to get assigned to the PCMCIA controller itself, right? Leaving none free for the card? --Wade On Thu, 5 Jul 2001, Greg Smith wrote: > Wade, > > A shortcut is to boot -v then send us the dmesg output, but you are > still vulnerable where FreeBSD does not detect a resource is in use. > Windows is much smarter and more thorough about resources. > > Is your pccard.conf still referencing config 0x27, which is what I see > in 4.3-stable? > > Greg > > -----Original Message----- > > >Ok, I've assigned IRQ 10 to the PCMCIA controller.
