You typically can't *SET* the IRQ used by a card via the device driver. You would have to do that in the BIOS, with jumpers, or with something that understands the IRQ routing on your motherboard (ie: a chipset driver or something). A PCI card asserts one of up to four interrupt signals (A-D), and the BIOS is responsible for appropriately connecting these interrupts to the interrupt controller and reporting the IRQ mapping to higher level software (see the PCI BIOS Specification for details on how this works). Passing an IRQ value to the driver is just for those cases where the interrupt cannot be appropriately auto-detected (ie: mainly ISA bus cards, where interrupts are typically set by physical jumpers). > By the way, your suggestion of using the initrd_usb.lrp package works > like a charm.

The tricky part is building a kernel and initial ramdisk that can boot from a USB device. Since this was already done by the Bering-uClibc team, all that remains is to get the kernel and initrd into memory somehow, typically via your favorite boot-loader. Could be LILO, grub, syslinux, loadlin, ROM, or whatever... - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEksUxLywbqEHdNFwRAoO6AKD7BPtpep8d+8gODHgwVfwKlVvnzgCg03TN 3zLWlEtgf0knPpZ53EZFLQA= =hskc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
