Hmmmm. Yeah, I've got ed0 living on IRQ15. However, this h/w combo has been
running since 3.3 (including 4.0->4.1-RELEASE).

No, it's hardwired in the card. I read on the archives when I bought it to
disable the PnP stuff on the card because it wouldn't work without it. So, I
assigned it IRQs manually through their stupid little DOG program. 15 and 9
were the only ones their setup program could find that weren't "conflicts"
with something else.

I can certainly try to move ed0 onto a different IRQ.

Probably so. Any suggestions for the second segment's starting position? LINT
says nothing about it.

yeah, it was at least enlightening to see that IRQ14/IRQ15 are "meant" for
ATA. That certainly does look like a smoking gun. However, I bring up the
canonical fact that "it worked before this commit" ....

Hopefully I'll have time over the weekend to futz with the IRQs on these
cards. Maybe I'll just ditch the damn things and go get two PCI NICs ... who
knows ...

Thanks,
