I need help with Aardvark pro Q10 and dual AMD MP

[Sofocado]

just finish building my dual AMD MP system with a Tyan Thunder K7 S2462ung. The board have two scsi adapter, I am using one hard drive on each scsi adpater. I put the Aardvark Pro Q10 in one of the PCI slots. I install the latest driver the 7.4 and when I open the Aardvark Manager another aardvark card appears the 20+
When I go to the divice manager to look for the resources and IRQ it says that the card does not support plug n play. Can anyone tell me what should I do? My card use to work on my old PIII pc from dell. Before i build the pc Aardvark told me that it should work fine. Thank you.

Operating system?

IRQ's used presently?

I think you might be able to steer other stuff around it, so it can have it's own way.

Mello,

I have dual AMD, 2 Q10s and one Matrox 450 video card. The Q10's do not share IRQs with anything else... System is still not stable. Search on my posts to find details.

I resolved the problem, it was my mistake. One thing I want to ask. Would it be a problem that my matrox 450 shared IRQ 17 with my adaptec scsi controller? I m using SCSI hard drives.

Everything that you read about XP and IRQ's is that sharing should not be a problem, however it seems that most users and equipment manufacturers and software companies suggest eliminating conflicts where ever possible. I am having some stability issues that elimination of IRQ conflicts has not solved.

as an update I was told by Aardvark that their drivers (7.04) are not good with DUAL AMD chips. There is a fix in the works, but my problems will remain until I either disable one of my processors (pull it out and reload the bios) or the new driver is released.

Worked this weekend for about 30 hours, crashed about 25 times.

for what it's worth, my dual amd, (a7m266-d), would not even let Cakewalk start. Replaced ati allinwonder radeon 8500 with dual Matrox 450 and problem went away.
