IRQ Conflict

[Demosthenes]

At Statica's praise, I decided to give Gentoo a shot. After getting it all downloaded (whew) and setup, I tried booting to it. There is only one problem; an IRQ conflict. Now, the tricky part: The installation is running inside a virtual machine by virtue of VMWare. As such, I have no idea what is or is not a VMWare specific problem.

This is the output pertinent to the error:

usb.c: registered new driver hub
uhci.c: USB Universal Host Controller Interface driver v1.1
PCI: Found IRQ 1 for device 00:07.2
IRQ routing conflict for 00:07.2, have irq 10, want irq 1
uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0x1060, IRQ 10

Well, what can I say? It apparently really wants IRQ 1. What to do?

Respectfully,

Hi Demosthenes:
What is your host OS? Are you running ACPI enabled or PnP enabled in your BIOS?
And finally I've seen that being spewed on occasion especially on newer VIA chipsets. Not those IRQ conflcts exactly

Gentoo is rough getting setup as most will say .. but its a pleasure once set up.

The VMWare BIOS is rather scarce. The power management features were disabled by default and I have "OS Installed" set to Other, but I have tried all combinations. I removed the USB controller from the virtual hardware list, and it got a step further, but hangs at:

TCP: Hash tables configured . . .
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0

The obvious culprit would the networking card, but even if I remove it, the load will still hang at that point. As per the chipset, it is the AMD761, but I think all hardware is simulated by VMWare. I am not sure if it has direct access to any piece of hardware, unless you give it permission to a drive.

Respectfully,
