Hi, I have put an older isapnp scsi card in my computer. For this card there is (not yet) a driver for FreeBSD. I also had some pci cards in there of course. When trying to load the driver for the pci card I run into "device_probe_and_attach: %s%d attach returned 6\n" This happens because the isapnp card seems to be on the same irq. I can see this is I kldload a driver skeleton I had written for this isapnp card. Another way to make the pci card get an irq and load ok is to set the irq in question from pci/pnp to isa in the bios so that the pci card will use another one. But I think this might render the isapnp card unusable. Q: is this possible when there is no driver for the isapnp card (loaded) that the pci card fails to get the irq ? Isn't there a way so that the PCI card will use another irq and initialize correctly ? Any comments or pointers to docs on this topics would help me. -- Bjoern A.
