I just tonight switched from the Planet CCRMA RH9 to FC1. The install was purely from the CDROMs dated 4/25/2004. I've seen all the latest posts about interrupts and did the required reading on the internet. I really managed to get RH9 cleaned up but in FC1 I'm seeing something a little different. I have a Delta 1010 and I'm running an AMD Barton 2.6 with 5 PCI slots. The question is what the heck are IRQ 16 and 22? I moved the sound and ethernet cards around to get them to 16 and 22 as they used to be eth0 on 21 and ICE1712 on 22. I have ACPI turned off as a service but don't have a "disable" option in the BIOS. I did turn off USB support in the BIOS. Is 16 like the equivalent of IRQ 3 since it's following 15?

A huge improvement over the 46.1 msec using RH9 with capabilities. Thanks, Brad.
