Re: prioritize PCI traffic ?

Dear all,

is it possible to explicitly tell the kernel to prioritize PCI traffic
for a number of cards in pci slots x,y,z ?

I am asking as severe ide traffic causes lost frames when watching TV
using 2 DVB cards + vdr... This is simply due to the fact that the PCI
bus is saturated...

So, is any prioritizing of the PCI bus possible ?

That would be chipset dependent. Some chipsets may be able to assign different arbitration priorities to different slots, but certainly you can't do this generically..
