No $PIR in the image. What's my best "Plan B"? Options that I'm aware
of include:
1) Find a way to enumerate IRQ assignments while booted into WinCE 3.0.
2) Guess. :-) Right now, the only devices I need that are lacking IRQ
assignments are the USB controller and the NIC.
Question: how is the kernel getting IRQ assignments for ide0 and the 2
serial ports? Without an IRQ table, I have to assume it's assuming
standard IRQs for those devices.
thanks,
Jonathan
