Re: [PLUG] 3 nic cards


I had the same problem some years ago and found that /proc/interrupts
does not report all of the interrupts that are used on the system.  You
need to compair /proc/interrupts && ( /proc/pci || "/sbin/lspci -v" ) to
find out if any of the isa cards are using the same irq as the pci bus.  

Another problem usually resides with the agp video card sharing the same
irq as the pci slot next to it.  This is Motherboard specific, but when
adding cards to the system it can be a problem.  I also don't see the
irq for your es1371 sound card listed.

The lspci utility will show you the irqs for all of the above.

The fix I found was in the bios setup of the system by reserving
specific irqs for legacy isa uses.  There are some isa cards that are
impossible to change the irq setting for unless you have a dos boot disk
somewhere.
