Quoting Udo Schweigert (ust@cert.siemens.de): > Also: IRQ 5 is often used by Laptops for Audio. Try a different IRQ like 11 > (if not used by other PCMCIA-cards). This is an important hint for other cases, too. We got stomped by an inactive PCI soundcard last weekend using a plain-and-simple ISA Fritz!Card. The first problem to solve was ensuring the ISDN link worked at all (this was a router for a temporary setup just for the weekend). When that was clear, the machine still didn't get at the S0 at all. It took us quite some time to think of the soundcard because it wasn't detected on booting and the ISDN was recognized just fine. It just simply didn't work with IRQ5. The simply solution was to remove the soundcard and everything started to work as expected. Now that the machine's back in office I can't easily try different configurations as the soundcard went elsewhere. (Besides the setup is fairly strange - the BSD loader doesn't feel like booting directly from a SCSI drive with an IDE present and it doesn't load the kernel from the root partition at the end of a 10gig drive either, so I had to resort to using fbsdboot.exe which requires an a.out kernel. Yuck!) To make a long story short: There may be IRQ conflicts even when I4B gets fully initialized. As a consequence the card was completely deaf and dumb towards the S0. Greetings, Ripley -- H.
