Interrupt conflicts while loading usb during boot up. From what I can tell after searching google....sony vaio laptops have a wierd bios interrupt handler that isn't quite right. On boot usb finds int 10 but gets assigned 9, this creates an irq conflict it says. So, when I plug my mouse into usb it just times out when getting assigned an address. There were mentions of some kind of hack to get around this but I didn't understand them. Although kernel 2.4.18 does work for the usb mouse sometimes and then only for a few minutes. Kernel 2.4.8 wouldn't work at all. Perhaps I should just contact Award and see if there is a newer bios for this thing. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
