Hi,
The LinuxBIOS with etherboot boots Linux properly, and gets on the network with both the internet interface up and seems to asigns the IRQ correctly in LinuxBIOS. ping.etc is OK.
But, when I use the Multimedia card(encoder)card on this on a PCI slot and start encoding. The machine just comes to a halt and network is also out and there is no Output on the Serial console. I have assigned IRQ 12 to this PCI slot. Would it matter with different IRQ numbers, if IRQ 5 is assigned, the results are a bit different. But still does remain come network later once the encoding starts.
I doubt whether the IRQ still has a problem with this.
Could someone give any suggestions on this one.
Also, if there is a good methodolgy/literature of this whole IRQ business with LinuxBIOS and would like to share. It would be great as well.
Regards Deepak
