[RESOLVED] IRQ Sharing
Can anyone out there please help me!
I have a very unusual irq problem, in the ESCD table @ boot all device are listed on unique IRQs, but when in win2k under resources in computer manager it tells me everythings on 11 (SCSI, Graphics, USB, Modem. I have tried every posible combination of settings in the PNP/PCI setup and varying different driver versions, i have also tried the system with just the SCSI & VGA but there still both on 11
what am i doing wrong
System spec:
Abit KT7A-Raid
AMD Tbird 1Ghz
256MB
Adaptec 29160 (2.57.2 bios)
Nvidia Geforce2 32DDR
SB 256 Live
Diamond internal Supra 56
Thanks

This is normal, it mainly uses IRQ19 though
Win2K over rides Bios PCI settings, trying to change or assign IRQ for PCI devices in Bios is futile, along as Win2K is setup-using ACPI

Goto Device Manager
Double Click COMPUTER
Double Click Advanced Configuration & Power Interface Computer
Click the Driver Tab
Click Change or Update driver
Select from a list od Drivers
Show all drivers
Select Standard PC
Click next
Reboot
Windows will redetect your hardware and assign the IRQ's as set by the BIOS
Only drawback is that you will need to power off manually after this, but what is the press of a button?
Also make sure that you have IRQ5 set to Legacy/ISA in the BIOS as the SB Live's Legacy support can interfere with the Highpoint controller if you don't.

What version of the VIA Drivers are you using?
I had the NTOSKRNL problem when using the 4.26 or higher drivers.
