Hallo! 

A friend's Compaq Presario 905 is having the following problem while trying to 
boot from CD (tested with 8.2, 9rc2 and 9rc3):

...
ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 80
PCI: no IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:10.0. Please try using 
pci=biosirq
...
> Partition check:
>   hda: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7
...

I've tryed booting "linux pci=biosirq" with no luck.  He hasn't got the option 
in bios to assingn irqs manually.

Last: we've found that booting "linux ide=nodma" reaches the following step 
("Enabling PCMCIA extension cards").  Then it shows the following:

Bank 3: b40000000000083b at 0000000001fc0003b0
Kernel panic: Unable to continue.

As it's got 256Mb ram and the video card is 32Mb we've added "mem=224M" and 
"mem=223M" to boot parameters with no luck.

HELP!  He's going back to windowwwwwwwwwssssssssssssss...

Thanks in advance  ;)
