Hi i hawe a 8K7A and i hawe the soundcard in the PcI 2 and the card hawe his own IRQ since i dont hawe the raid version.
But i hawe the NIC on the PCI 3 (sound disabled) and this NIC card share the IRQ 11 with my HSP56 Modem on the PCI 4 and also the tho share with the USB .
So i hawe 3 things who share the same IRQ .

The Bios is set like this :
PNP OS Installed = [YES]
Resources Controlled By = [Auto(ESCD)]

Do i must set something in bios or what can i do to fix this problem please ?
What i know is this :
PCI 1 share with AGP
PCI 2 share with PCI 5 and HTP 370 ( non raid version here)
PCI 3 share with Onboard sound (disabled here)
PCI 4 share with PCI 6 and USB

The 0S is Win98SE

Thanx for the info .
 
I fixed the problem without any slot change , i disabled Port Com 2 (Irq3) and assigned the Modem to IRQ 3 , reboot and now i hawe Nic on the IRQ 11 alone and nothing shared anymore (since 3 share with onboard disabled sound) and the HSP 56 Modem on IRQ 3.
ACAPI function is enabled .
 
Besides, PCI devices (including AGP) sharing a system interrupt is _NOT_ a conflict. The PCI specification (dating from 1993!)
has interrupt sharing mandatory for both hardware and software. So does the AGP specification. If anything doesn't work right
in a system where interrupt sharing happens, the solution is to return the hardware and use something made by a company
that does things right.
