Hi, 

Could anyone please help me on how to solve this irq conflict 
problem?

My linux box gives me "SIOIFFLAG: Try Again" message after probing
for ethernet card (3Com590).   Checking /proc/interrupts and HOWTOs
reveals that my SCSI (adaptec2940) uses the same interrupt (irq 9) 
as ethernet card (as seen using "dmesg").  

My PC's BIOS does not have any setting allows me change irqs for 
devices.   Windows95 control panel says "can not change irq" from 
win95 neither.

Any help is appreciated.
