I have a RAID controller and a gigabit nic that are sharing the same IRQ (IRQ11). I reserved IRQ 5 in the bios and I'd like to have the RAID controller use that IRQ port. How can I accomplish this?
By not reserving it and letting PCI plug&play do the job of assigning IRQs and IO-space. You may have to move one of the cards into a different slot, it depends on the motherboard.
Hello, There are only two PCI slots and both are sharing IRQ 11. Since I reserved IRQ 5 in the BIOS I can now have Linux use that IRQ port for the RAID controller. How does Linux assign IRQ ports and how can I 'tell' it to use a specific port for a specific device? From Yast, under Hardware I can view the resources of the devices, however you can't change them from there. Where can I can change the resources? Thank you for your help. James
