On my 'little' home-/labs's server box one of the SATA II controllers of the nForce4 is sharing IRQ with another device (can't remember, sorry) and ehci() is shared with the nve()/nfe() nForce4 NIC. I remember myself of sophisticated BIOSes (TYAN, e.g.) where someone could assign IRQs to each PCI-X slot. Regards, Oliver
