The conflict only happens if your OS is not APIC aware or buggy
hardware. In fact 15, is usually used for the secondary IDE port. The
reason APIC exists is to support SMP and the plethora of new devices
that are present on any modern motherboard. On my nforce motherboard
with IO-APIC, lscpi  -vb will show lots of devices using IRQ 15. But,
I've never seen IRQ misses on any one of them. The same goes for our
production systems running Pentium D or Xeon 51x0.


I ment are they both on 14, not 15. (Sorry not feeling good the last few
days and kinda working in a cloud).   Ok, so in theory, even though the BIOS
is saying "You guys are on IRQ 6" or "You guys are on IRQ 13".... as long as
lscpi -v and cat /proc/interrupts shows the devices not sharing and IO-APIC
I should be ok?
