The thing I posted about IRQs, it isn't dealing with what you have in your kernel, so posting your config wasn't a help; it has solely to do with what is physically existing in your computer. You have to go through your system and do a careful census of exactly what cards you have installed and what irq's they're using. This cannot ignore peripherals installed from your motherboard, either (if you have a bios setting putting something extra on IRQ 7, it's going to cause it just as surely as having a Soundblaster on it will). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
