The Boot-Prompt HowTo at: http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.4 says one can use pci=irqmask=mask at the lilo boot prompt (or as an append in /etc/lilo.conf) to accomplish this task. I have not been able to get this mask working for the 2.4.20 kernel. Can anyone help me reserve IRQs? I would usually do this through BIOS but unfortunately my Dell BIOS does not provide the usual screen for doing so. Thanks, Daniel
