Hi
Is this a bug or a feature?
I've defined in my Kernel-Config-File all 4 com-ports, so
that one of them is sitting on irq 5.
AND snd2 (soundblaster) is on irq 5.
now the question:
why do the kernel detects both devices with "options COM_MULTIPORT"
and refuses snd2 ("..not probed due irq-conflict with sio3 at irq5) without
multi-port-option?
OR does kernel support EISA-irq-sharing?
Bis denne ... Lars.
