Hello I am having problems with my soundcard and my NIC on my toshiba portege 7140CT running woody 2.4.18. (My sound is jumpy and my NIC is sometimes not identified- this may be related to the state of the sound device when i power down, but i'm not 100% sure.)
I think this is due to them sharing an IRQ (along with several other things, including video). The output of lspci and contents of /proc/interrupts are below. My question is: how do i assign different irq's to these devices? My BIOS gives me the following 2 options: Configuration: device config= "All devices" or "Setup in OS" However, neither allows me to adjust the irq assigned to everything other than parallel, serial, and modem. The floppy, HDD (ide0), dock(ide1) and PCI bus have apparently non-configurable irqs in bios. (The only difference between the options seems to be is that "All devices" allows me to insist that PCIC is used for the PC card controller mode) Kernel options presently set as CONFIG_PCI=y # CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS is not set # CONFIG_PCI_GODIRECT is not set CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_NAMES=y Is APIC a solution, and how do i enable it if it is not enabled? config: CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y but in dmesg: Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Could not enable APIC! (Also APCI is not running, but it think this doesn't offer a solution anyway) Thanks in advance for any help. deetee --------- /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 3088537 XT-PIC timer 1: 21989 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 20888 XT-PIC xirc2ps_cs 6: 8 XT-PIC floppy 8: 3 XT-PIC rtc 11: 19 XT-PIC ESS Maestro 2E, usb-uhci, eth0 12: 257780 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 285579 XT-PIC ide0 15: 50 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ---- lspci -v 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 03) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64 Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 1.0 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64 Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=64 Memory behind bridge: fec00000-ff7fffff 00:05.0 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 00:05.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) (prog-if 80 [Master]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64 I/O ports at fff0 [size=16] 00:05.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at ff80 [size=32] 00:05.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 03) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9 00:07.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics 56k WinModem (rev 01) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Internal V.90 Modem Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3 Memory at ffefff00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] I/O ports at 02f8 [size=8] I/O ports at 1c00 [size=256] Capabilities: [f8] Power Management version 2 00:09.0 IRDA controller: Toshiba America Info Systems FIR Port Type-DO Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems FIR Port Type-DO Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at ff60 [size=32] Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2 00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1978 Maestro 2E (rev 10) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems ES1978 Maestro-2E Audiodrive Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at fc00 [size=256] Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 6c) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at fb00 [size=128] Memory at febfff80 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at febc0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems Cyber 9540 (rev 52) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems: Unknown device 0001 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 8, IRQ 11 Memory at ff400000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at ff3e0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at fec00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [80] AGP version 1.0 Capabilities: [90] Power Management version 1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
