Has anyone got Linux running on K7t pro2A without IRQ conflicts ? During bootup I see several IRQ conflicts,
My onboard sound is not working completely.

I see the following errors during bootup..
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via686.o.gz: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/sound/pci/snd-via686.o.gz failed

What is the IO/IRQ to use ?

I also see the following errors..
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
Disabling VIA memory write queue (PCI ID 0305, rev 02): [55] 89 & 1f -> 09
Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent
Unknown bridge resource 1: assuming transparent
Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent
PCI: Using IRQ router VIA [1106/0686] at 00:07.0
IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.2, have irq 5, want irq 11
IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.3, have irq 5, want irq 11

TIA.

You probably need to add the modules to your kernel. Do a 'make menuconfig' or a 'make xconfig' (If you're in X), add the sound modules. Run 'make dep modules', 'make modules_install', and 'make clean'.

Also, since your chipset doesn't seem to be supported, that probably means your DMA isn't enabled either. Do a 'hdparm -t /dev/hda' <or what ever your HDD is>. If it's low, (14.4MB/s or something close) do a 'hdparm -d /dev/hda', and a 'hdparm -X69 /dev/hda'.
