On a machine where IRQ's 5 and 11 are taken by the sound hardware, and the pcic itself uses IRQ 10, none of the options in /stand/sysinstall leaves an IRQ available for cards plugged into the socket. /stand/sysinstall should offer a choice of any two uncommitted interrupts for the cards. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
