Ask and you shall receive...

That sucks...

D'Oh!

HP says there is _no_way_ to change the IRQs of the SCSI controllers?!?!?
You have _got_ to be joking...

Keep looking, there is _somewhere_.  ;^)

I can tell you what the problem is...
You can't have two controllers on the same IRQ, that's what.
Right now you have the second SCSI controller and the Net card both
on IRQ 11.  Won't fly.  Not now, not ever.  Someone's got to move.

This would be a problem even under NT.  What does HP say again?
Tell them you have a network card on IRQ 11 and the secondary SCSI
controller is conflicting with it.  Ask them how you can change the SCSI
controller's IRQ.  I'm sure it can be done.  No system designer would
be _that_ stupid as to not let you change it at all.

Again, keep us informed.
