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??
Thanksmaybe 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

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.

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. StrangeNext Page...
