My question: In BIOS I see letters(A,B, > etc) all assigned to 11. Is it safe to try to change them? yes, in the worst case you just need to reboot and re-set them.. (hihi; if you dual boot: windows might find some new devices after flipping those around; prepare to jockey (not mount) the driver CD/DVD) ABCD usually correspond do the PCI irq wires . aehm striplines or signals. ;) - some bios allow to choose "[voltage]level" or "edge" IRQ detection. - not sure if and how that affects rt-linux. i use edge detection. assiging each letter to a different IRQ number and checking the output of /proc/interrupts seems like a good idea. try IRQ 3,5,9,11 for example. you might still be unlucky: the firewire device might share the "wire" with some other [inconvenient] device(s). robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
