[ILUG] INT9, bttv, sound and SCSI. Sorted. Still confused, but it works.

I spent quite a bit of time messing with Interrupt settings and such on my
system. I found that SCSI was using INT10, so when I changed INT9 to legacy ISA,
the bttv card took INT10, leaving SCSI with no Interrupt. When I changed INT10
to legacy ISA, (I know, it isn't) there were no interrupts left for the disk
controllers! I played around with the interrupts for a while and finally found a
combo of legacy and PCI settings that seems to work, although I couldn't get the
card to pick up a station with xawtv, but I didn't spend too much time with it.
My sound still works, all drives mount at boot and I can mount my CDRW, which is
an ATAPI device using SCSI emulation, so everything seems to be working, fingers
crossed.

Anyone got some experience with TV cards and Linux apps? I've got a few videos
I'd like to copy.

Cheers,
