Hello,
I have an interrupt conflict between a two port pci-e serial card and
the onboard ethernet controllers in a PowerEdge 850.
I'm running kernel 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5PAE with bios revision A04.
In every instance, the two serial ports have been allocated the same
interrupts as the two ethernet controllers.
I have tried many kernel boot options, including acpi=off, pci=noirq,
acpi=noirq.
When I enter the bios, I can see the same interrupts allocated to the
serial ports and ethernet controllers. Attempting to change the
interrupts manual causes both a nic and a serial port to both change,
both to the same interrupt.
I have even tried disabling onboard usb and serial with no change.
I'm beginning to think the pci-e serial card is broken under linux. I
have a similar card running on a PE850 under Windows Server 2003 and
there are no such conflicts.
Here is some output from lspci -v :

I'm fairly stumped, and I'm about ready to try different serial
hardware.
Any clues from the experts on this list?

Dan
