Steve Frank: |The modem has no jumpers so there is no way to mechanically fix the IRQ on |the board itself. There are no jumpers on my motherboard either, so I'm not |sure how I can lock in the IRQ for the sio card. It appears to me that I'll |have to free up an IRQ - say by disabling a com port - to get everything |working properly. Another thought. Do any of your PCI cards not use an interrupt? E.g. most video cards fall in this category I believe. If so, and if your motherboard is like mine in that it has an affinity for assigning certain IRQs to certain slots, maybe you can arrange to have the soundcard "share" an IRQ with a device that is assigned one but really doesn't need it. However, I don't know if that will clear up your problem or not. Orion's comment about "PCI sio devices appears to be a bolt on to the isa devices" makes me wonder. Guess it depends on whether the IRQ assignment info being used to detect an attach conflict is coming from logic in the FreeBSD kernel or from the BIOS.
