I took the patch for 2.4.20 and it does fine. Are there chances to include this in the mainstream? Without my SIS-based motherboards do not work at all with shared interrupts (which you actually cannot prevent due to lacking bios support for pci-irq mapping). BTW: I tried 2.4.21-pre[1-3] and none did work, of course. -- Regards, Stephan
