You already did it with your last posting - though nobody pointed you to this fact. Hijacking means you did a reply to the list mail "Re: Convert CDIR notation to IP range" and your mail contains now referencing header tags.

Seems your chipset on the motherboard is not well handled for DMA. It is /dev/hdc with the problem. Disable DMA for that drive. If its making strange noises it is going to die. > Jul 27 08:58:17 Jupiter kernel: vortex: IRQ reg error > Jul 27 08:58:18 Jupiter last message repeated 2 times The audio card has an IRQ problem. > I thought it could be interrupt problems > > [root@Jupiter proc]# cat interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 177784232 XT-PIC timer > 1: 13466 XT-PIC i8042 > 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade > 4: 578 XT-PIC serial > 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc > 9: 14366 XT-PIC acpi, uhci_hcd, au8810 > 11: 2034767 XT-PIC eth0 > 12: 1410826 XT-PIC i8042 > 14: 207154 XT-PIC ide0 > 15: 6401853 XT-PIC ide1 > NMI: 0 > ERR: 1 > [root@Jupiter proc]# Looks ok. IRQ sharing on IRQ 9 is "normal" with ACPI active. If you like you can experiment with "acpi=off" as kernel boot parameter whether that changes anything of the observed effects. > Both my video card and network card appear to be sharing interrupt 11 > but the video card is not showing up in the above list. What kind of graphics card do you have and which driver set up for it?
