ok ,
may be you re right but let me restate : i have no problem under 2.2.13 and lower ...
as for the pci/agp question , they get the same irq ... thats my reasoning also i have reproduced the problem on a 4 pci slot mb, so its not the board...
however ,
the problem still appears on other slots but hardly ever... one log entry per day while on slot 4/5 ( depending on the board) it was 95 percent of the time.
and again this problem is only with 2.2.14 and 2.3.39
anything under 2.2.14 worked fine ( 2.2.12, 2.2.13 )
