Speaking from experience: a correctly configured board fails the test#3 after a crash. Don't ask me why, but it is correctly configured, and I have verified the circuitry on the card myself, to make sure that it was possible to share the IRQs with this card. Any debugging information you may want can be produced rather easily... -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
