This seems to work just fine other than every time I access the floppy I get an error message to syslog saying it received an unexpected interupt on irq6. I have changed the floppy, no difference. I changed the bios from Award to AMI and back, no difference. Can anyone help? I dont understand enough about the interupt mechanism of PCI to know how interupts are assigned. The Award bois has a PCI configuration page where it talks about mapping interupts from the PCI. These interupts it refers to as A-F. Is this just hex for the interupt number or something else. If someone could point me to a source of information on how PCI works then I would be very happy. Thanks Lyndon
