Hi,

I get sometimes an APIC error on CPU 1. for IRQ 169, I get 4 modules : 3 USB and one Nvidia ( I know, you dislike that). I would like to affect another IRQ to the nvidia card to see if the problem is nvidia or not. I don't want to modify the others IRQ.
I can't from the BIOS. I red Documentation/i386/IO-APIC.txt but I'm not sure it is possible.
What is the best method to do that ? is pirq the solution ? how ?

If the BIOS can't do it, it may not be possible at all, i.e. the interrupt lines may be hard wired that way on the motherboard.
