Also suggested was disabling IRQ11 in the BIOS and forcing a different choice
that way. Neither one worked.
Here's what we've now done:
-- In the BIOS, turned off IRQ11 for PCI, rebooted; both the SCSI card and the
net card still chose IRQ11. (???)
-- Swapped the net card and the video card (this box only has 3 PCI slots);
booted DOS and looked at the 3com card using their config utility; it had
chosen IRQ9. Okay; exited that utility, rebooted the machine, and by the time
Linux loaded, the 3com card had snapped back to IRQ11 again.
At this point, I'm pretty sure that whatever is going on has nothing to do
with Linux, so unless somebody really wants to wrestle with this I'm declaring
this thread dead to the list. I just wanted to post something on the off
chance that anyone else runs into the same situation.
