Maybe. In this configuration, INTA of the two devices is physically connected to the same wire on the device-side of the interrupt re-mapper -- so you'd have to change the configuration. If you have an IOAPIC and can enable it, that will not hurt -- though unless something else changes, these devices are still tied together on the device-side of the mapper. So if you can physically move one of the devices to another slot that is your best bet. I'd need a bunch of info from your system to tell you what you can do ahead of time, including full dmesg, lspci -vv and acpidump. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
