Go into your BIOS setup and configure the PCI devices. My Award BIOS has a screen
where you lock out certain interrupts only for use by ISA devices or by PNP, etc.
Perhaps you have too many locked out. What I've done is setup my system such that
the BIOS will only choose from 11, 12, 13, and 14, that way my ISA periphs are safe
and there are enuff PCI interrupts. What MB do you have BTW?
