Hi,

System:
generic Linux 2.4.20 (dRock 1.60 based with heavy changes)
gcc 2.95.3
Athlon XP 2400+
256MB DDR RAM (Samsung)
EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333)
Sound onboard (VIA8233)
Radeon 7500 AGP (made by Sapphire)

Interrupts as follows:
CPU0
0: 3617891 XT-PIC timer
1: 27017 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 55271 XT-PIC usb-uhci, VIA8233
9: 0 XT-PIC usb-uhci
10: 3045481 XT-PIC usb-uhci, radeon@PCI:1:0:0
11: 30 XT-PIC sym53c8xx
14: 505263 XT-PIC ide0
15: 74476 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 7


Now, I got the following message whiel booting the kernel:

PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.

If I am using pci=biosirq I got the same mesage without "Please try
using pci=biosirq".

What is THIS? What is that mean?
Anything serious?

Since my box has some "mysterious" effects (locks for minutes as it
seems of being under heaviest load, than unlocks again. Sometimes
programs being "stable for years" (bash ie.) crashes and core dump.) I
would be very interesting, whether this has something to do with it.

Any help is very appreciated !
Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,
Meino Cramer
