[LAU] Thinkpad R60 for Audio Update - Firewire Conflicts with Audio

Hey List,
So my initial concerns that the HDA Intel audio card shares the IRQ
with ohci1394 seem to have manifested themselves. Using the kernel
option pci=noacpi initially put most of my devices on IRQ11, but then
I was able to move them around using the BIOS. Unfortunately, whenever
I change the IRQs around, HDA Intel, ohci1394, and uhci_hcd:usb2 all
seem to move together, which to me indicates that there's some
lower-level hardware connection between the three of them.

This means that I get loads of xruns if I try to run jackd with a
firewire hard drive plugged in, which is a pain because I bought this
enclosure specifically so that I would have access to the hard drive
that has all my session files on it.

Can anyone think of any possible way that I can use the internal sound
card with my firewire hard drive? Maybe some deeper way of
manipulating the IRQs that I'm not aware of?

I'm planning on getting a PCMCIA sound card at some point, but after
dropping 1,400 on this laptop my extra funds are a little tight for a
while.

Thanks,
spencer
