Changing IRQs on K7S5A

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of the alternative BIOSs out there would let me
change the IRQs of the onboard devices for my K7S5A. Specifically, I want to
change the irq of either the onboard sound or the AMR modem (they are both
set to 10 by default).

Any help would be much appreciated!

I am running SuSE 8.0 Pro and am trying to get my AMR modem and my onboard
sound working together.

SuSE found the sound card without any problems (how surprising is that!) and
I got the latest drivers for the modem - 0.9.6 - only to find that if I
insert the modules manually, as soon as I try to connect to the internet the
sound stops working. If let SuSE load the driver modules automatically the
sound doesn't work at all because the modem is initialised before the sound
system.

The only thing I can see which might be causing this is the fact that they
are both using irq 10.

So I can have either working but not both at the same time, which isn't bad
considering its and AMR modem, but I'd like to have both if possible.

Any ideas?

That might be what i have to do eventually - or get a different modem (but
modem support in linux can be a bit hairy). But it would be nice to get
things going properly without buying other bits and pieces =)

I dont know about ACPI being removed, how would that help though? The IRQs
seem to be set before the OS even takes over - you can see this just before
it starts searching for a boot record where all the devices are listed at
the bottom of the table with the various IRQs.


Cheers,

Calculor

P.S. Thanks for replying guys!

Does Linux make use of the I/O APIC hardware feature (which yields
more IRQs)? The Honeyx BIOS reveals this hidden setting in the CMOS
setup, and I have it enabled for use with win2k and the result is all
devices are on their own IRQ.

I will try the honeyx bios then, is there a site with info on how to change
this setting or is it obvious?

honeyx BIOS links can be found here.

As to where the APIC setting is found, I believe it is on the CPU
page.
