On one of my computers, irq 19 is used 4 times. There's only so many irq's available, sometimes some of them are shared. The problem is when some devices don't want to share. Do 'dmesg | grep storm', and 'dmesg | grep throt' that will tell you what irq has the problem and something is being shutdown. Then you can do 'dmesg | grep <irq from above>' to find what devices are using that irq and determine what to do. With my computers I have found a bad usb mouse (dam' microsloth product, should have known better), some devices that couldn't be plugged into the usb2.0 ports I have, they had to be plugged into usb1.1 ports only, a modem that I thought was shot but would work like a champ by repositioning it on the pci bus, and some NICs that would work best by repositioning. I also found out, what FreeBSD likes, Windows XP doesn't necessarily like. After I got everything straightened around for FreeBSD-STABLE, Windows XP took a 1/2 hour to come up, booting up with the XP install disc took about the same. It still did it after a fresh install of XP. so, I told my wife: "Windows is shot, Microsoft wans me to call them to get a new number which won't help. You don't do anything on Windows that you can't do as well as or better on FreeBSD. I can't tell exactly what's wrong, Microsoft doesn't want me to know, FreeBSD thinks I want to know. I'm pulling the plug on windows and their money grubbing ways. By the way, I do give FreeBSD lessons, but pay attention or you'll have to learn on your own." Yeah, one less Windows XP installation to worry about. Of course, I didn't figure out a reason (for myself) for what was happening with Windows XP till later. You're probably going to have to put your NIC in a different slot. Don
