Since i've seen it twice recently (once at Walnut Creek CDROM, where Jordan has been hunting for this for about an hour :), make also sure that your PCI setup does know about the ISA IRQ allocation. Otherwise, it will happily re-assign the IRQ to some PCI device, for example (though totally useless) to the video card, rendering the ISA device interrupt defunct. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
