1.8.1 Standard interrupt assignments

*

These IRQs are usually available for ISA or PCI devices.

When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers

support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments.

Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the

system unstable and the card inoperable.
