Hi,
I work on a Sony Vaio pcg-z1rsp which I am trying to get set up
correctly under Linux.
First off its a centrino. However I have compiled the drivers from
sourceforge but I am still get unresolved
symbols. But I think the main problem is the shared irq setup.
My firewire, usb, sound, video, modem and pcmcia controller all share irq 9.
This sounds mad I know but thats the setup as reported by both Linux and
Windows.
Anyway, Linux is not happy. It won't start usb or firewire at all and
the sound plays very crackly.
When I try and modprobe any of the drivers all I get are complaints
about irq conflicts.
I have tried a 2.4.20-8, 2.4.25 and a 2.6.4 kernel. None of them can
handle it.
Is there something I should set in menuconfig to get this working or is
there a patch somewhere?
