A problem, a machine stalls after usage of the PCI board.(seems IRQs)

[Deepak Kotian]

Hi,

    The  LinuxBIOS with etherboot boots Linux properly, and
    gets on the network with both the internet interface up and seems to
asigns the IRQ
    correctly in LinuxBIOS. ping.etc is OK.

    But, when I use the Multimedia card(encoder)card on this on a PCI slot
and start encoding.
    The machine just comes to a halt and network is also out and there is
    no Output on the Serial console.
    I have assigned IRQ 12 to this PCI slot. Would it matter with different
IRQ numbers, if
    IRQ 5 is assigned, the results are  a bit different. But still does
remain come network later
    once the encoding starts.

    I doubt whether the IRQ still has a problem with this.

    Could someone give any suggestions on this one.

    Also, if there is a good methodolgy/literature of this whole IRQ
business
    with LinuxBIOS and would like to share. It would be great as well.
