Ok, I'll give it a try this evening.

Hmm, that doesn't sound nice, I have many shared IRQs in my system :-(


I tried booting without the 'plug and play OS' flag set in my BIOS,
normally I run 2.6.x kernel, but I recall that 2.4.x needed the
flag to be cleared so I decided to give it a try.
And now I have some more success :-) :-) I managed to get the ehci
driver up and running, and my USB2 devices are recognised, the network
driver works perfectly now :-). Also the cmpci doesn't complain about
the interrupts anymore.
However, the normal uhci is still not functional, and thus I can
still not use the devices using the USB1.1 ports.
(hmm... I wonder if they work if I plug them into my USB2 ports...
another thing to try this evening :-)



Mark.
