Have a new Microstar K7T Pro (MS-6330) with 750 MHz Socket A chip, Award Bios. 2 SCSI cards (2nd for diff tape drive), built in Sound, Nvidia AGP, 2 NIC's. In the Bios: Serial and parallel ports (irq 5) are on, USB off. PNP off (but have tried with it on). No ISA slots in this board. SCSI cards set to IRQ 7 & 8 respectively. NIC's are compiled into the kernel, 2.2.16
Puzzler is Bios assigns : IRQ 10 to SCSI card 1 and ETH0 IRQ 11 to SCSI card 2 and ETH1
System seems to work, but this doesn't look right, any ideas?
Do not worry -- PCI can happily share interrupts, and the only thing you could do is to disable builtin peripherals that you are not using in order to free up their IRQ's, and even then you might not see a change in the IRQ assignment because each PCI slot has only 4 IRQ's to chose from and no way for you to manually chose them. (Old ISA cards however can be burned to a crisp if you try to share IRQ's --) -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
