First, IRQ 2 and IRQ 9 are the same thing. It's finding that
part of your card ok, it's just not finding your memory on the card
correctly.
Secondly, for us to be able to help you we need to have a
_good_ idea of what's going on. To do that we need to know the
actual make and model of the card, what else is in the machine
(did you try booting without sound cards and such?), what version
you are trying to boot, and exact error messages you get at any
point. Saying "It's broke" won't get you much at all.
