Talk:PCI Virtual IRQ Assignment in Windows 2000/XP
From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
Having devices on virtual IRQ's is the same as having everything on IRQ 11.
i found with a new PC i setup that i HAD to enable ACPI and APM and do a regular install to get the damn thing to work, and it did so with all devices on a separate IRQ, but in my experience, the best practice is to keep everything separate, as the "feature" of adding the majority of your devices into the one interrupt is rather distasteful, as it can create a world of problems, ranging from minor annoying to greatly upsetting, to throw-computer-down-stairs....
i have apm and acpi enabled on my PC, but i used F5 to install it as a standard PC...
worx fine thanks, much better than having everything on IRQ11
