Hello:
Thanks all for providing a wonderful operating system for me to use free of charge. I can't believe that you guys do all this work for free, you are simply amazing. I would like to contribute to the kernel once I learn more C, but alas not yet.. anyhow, here is the reason I am writing to you:
I have major problems with PnP onboard hardware. I can get it all working, but the problem is that some of it doesn't like sharing IRQs. Especially my sound card. The sound card times out at random times when I am playing music, say with XMMS. My secondary ethernet card also conflicts with the card on IRQ7. I have tried everything I can think of, resettings the ESCD, set all H/W to auto, and played with BIOS settings for 2 weeks.
The only way I can see to fix this problem is to change a few settings in my BIOS and reboot, kind of point and shoot and hope it hits... as you can imagine, this takes a _long_ time. This is the best config possible so far:
mohr@rosetta:~$ cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 2547713 XT-PIC timer 1: 739 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 1969066 XT-PIC usb-ohci, nvidia, serial 7: 723591 XT-PIC NVIDIA nForce Audio, ehci-hcd 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 11: 56868 XT-PIC usb-ohci, ohci1394, eth0 12: 14465 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 154253 XT-PIC ide0 15: 5 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 2547675 ERR: 98 mohr@rosetta:~$
Please tell me there is a solution! I need help :) I don't want to be stuck like a pig on Windows!
