[linux-dvb] Re: DVB-T crashes Mandrake 9.1

[Bruno Prior <bruno@rpgd.uklinux.net>]

As I understand it, linux should handle IRQ sharing. I have to say, I've 
suspected linux's incompetence at IRQ sharing as the cause of God know's how 
many problems, but I have been told previously that it shouldn't be a 
problem to have more than one piece of hardware on the same IRQ. And to be 
frank, if linux can't handle this, we might as well all stop bothering now.

I could try it in another slot, but if this is the solution, it may be the 
final straw that puts me off linux forever.

Thanks for replying, but I'm going to hold off changing things in the hope 
that someone has an alternative suggestion.

Cheers,

Bruno Prior
