Well... I'm sure I can come up with a solution, but just for a frame of
reference when Windows and my BIOS started acting up and mis-configuring
IRQs I just labotomized the BIOS.... Collateral schmollateral. Nuke em
till they glow and let God sort 'em out. Hehehe :)
Seriously though this is something that could be a biiiiig problem for
me so I intend to look into it, re-read the threads I can find in
pghackers and maybe I can think of something. Sometimes all that is
needed is a fresh set of eyes.
