Keeping DSL away from int 10Forum: Other Help Topics Topic: Keeping DSL away from int 10 started by: frankzen Posted by frankzen on Jan. 19 2007,02:14
When DSl (like other distros) boots on my machine, it grabs int 10 for the sound card....which happens to be the int for my netcard. On other distros I got around this by booting with the parameter acpi=noirq. DSL doesn't seem to accept that option. Anyway around this??Thanks Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Jan. 19 2007,02:47
maybe noacpi acpi=off ?

If you don't use OSS sound, then use 'nosound' or 'alsa'Might also try pci=assign-busses Lastly, go into bios and assign/reserve Posted by frankzen on Jan. 20 2007,01:11
Well, alsa solves the problem of int 10----but sudo modprobe smc-ultra still doesn't work. I get a bunch of error messages and the module doesn't load. dmesg gives me the same "probing for a single card" message...but its obviously unsucessfull. First time I've ever had this problem - too bad - dsl is useless to me without networking. Is there a way to get dsl to load smc-ultra during the boot? By the way I also went into the BIOS and reserved int10, but what's this pci=assign-busses stuff. I have no pci cards. Posted by frankzen on Jan. 20 2007,01:13
Tried both, noacpi and acpi=off. I suspect the kernel doesn't recognize them. Anyway now I have solved int10 problem but the netcard module won't load. Strange Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Jan. 20 2007,18:53
It does recognize them, but it seems your problem is an irq conflict. You could run dmesg and double check that your nic and soundcard are probably the ones in conflict. Did you try the other things listed in roberts' previous post?
