Hi, All

i bought SCSI CD burnur which came with
AVA1505 card. It could wotk with io=0x140
or 0x340 (jumper switchable) and
irq 9,10,11 or 12 (could change it
using isapnp tools)

The problem is i do not have any of those interrupts
free.

9  is allocated for ethernet
10 is allocated for video
11 is allocated for sound
12 is ps/2 mouse

all above are PCI cards except ps/2 being on mb.

Anyway, if i try to set any of above irq by isapnp,
it complains that resource already in use. If i set
for example irq5 then isapnp works fine but i'm unable
to load module

Any ideas/help are greatly appreciated

thank you

OK

    Personally, I'd suggest disabling the IRQ for the video card (usually
done in BIOS, though a setting like "Use IRQ for VGA") - Unless you're doing
video capture, the effects should be fairly minimal.  Then use IRQ 10 for
the SCSI card.

    As always, YMMV
