Hi
This should be breeze for you hardware types. I'm wondering if this is of
concern and how to fix the problem.
I'm just finishing up an install of RH7.1 on a Dell Dimension somethingorother
and am finding a *LOT* of lines in /var/log/messages that look like this:
May 17 11:36:55 yggr kernel: usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1280

Eventually, the es1371 entry goes away. The way I see this, there is a conflict
between the sound card and the USB port, and the USB eventually wins so the
sound card gives up. Booting into winders98 (the original os), shows both of
these devices on IRQ9, though they both claim no conflicts (Yeah, it's M$...,
and when it boots into winders, the "boot sound" comes out a little choppy, so
it would seem that something is wrong there). They are both automatically
configured in winders. The Dell site really doesn't go into this too much,
though I noticed a few errors in their description compared to what I've seen
on the machine, so I'm not all that happy with what I read there either.
Is this easily fixed? Not being much of a pc type, I'm really not sure how to
go about it. Bios has none of this, just IRQ5 as reserved for legacy reasons,
so it must've been set during the install.
Many thanks
