Enabling Interrupts in FC5

[aquib]

Hi,
How do i enable the following interrupts in FC5

IRQ 11
IRQ 10
IRQ 3

All three of them get disabled during Linux boot and render my sound card, ethernet and USB not working

Please help

Try booting with acpi=off and see if it helps.

At the point where you see the grub splash screen, press a key to interrupt the boot process. Now that it's halted, press 'a'. That will allow you to add a kernel boot parameter. Add this to the end of the line:

acpi=off

Then press enter and let it boot.

You know man YOU ROCK !!. Did the ACPI=OFF after loading into GRUB and alls working fine Sound internet and all.
I just configured internet on my FC5 and am replying to you.

Know do i have to do that bit every time I load into linux... or is there a permanent solution

Edit /etc/grub.conf and find the line that says "kernel /vmlinuz-blah-blah-blah". At the end of it, just add "acpi=off" and it'll boot that way from now on.
