Thanks Manish, I have seen the doc you sent, seems to be good one. I will have a look at it and in case of any problem will post my problem again on mailing list.

This doc may not answer all of your Qs but it will give a good idea. Also dont forget to read intel's manual, Interrupt handling chapter. But sorry i forgot the address so i am attaching the pdf document. Googling with linux interrupts will also give few good results. regards manish _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
