IRQ problems w/VIA Apollo VP2/97 & NCR 53c875

[Mike Frisch]

Summary: IRQ conflict on VIA Apollo VP2/97-based motherboard between
dual controllers on NCR 53c875 (Diamond Fireport 40).  Kernel version is
2.4.5-ac9.

00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C595/97 [Apollo VP2/97]
(rev 04)
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64

00:07.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586/A/B PCI-to-ISA
[Apollo VP] (rev 25)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0

00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
(prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64
        I/O ports at 6000 [size=16]

When I attempt to mobprobe the ncr53c8xx module, I get the following
output:

SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0
IRQ routing conflict in pirq table for device 00:0b.0
IRQ routing conflict in pirq table for device 00:0b.1

It appears that something is getting confused and doesn't want to allow
the two controllers of this card to share the same IRQ.

Here is the relevent output from 'lspci -v':

There are no other devices using IRQ10.  Is this a lost cause?  This
controller and drives in their current configuration can be moved to an
Intel based machine and works flawlessly.  I have yet to see this
controller work on this VIA motherboard.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.
