However SuSE Linux 7.2 detected the USB device and loaded the module. As it seemed, even though IRQ 5 was marked as reserved in BIOS, the disabled USB device also had IRQ 5. At least that's what the module allocated. Later the sound module complained about IRQ 5 not being available. I have no idea what the effect of disabling a device in BIOS means to the hardware, or what can be done in the driver about it. I just wanted to let you know. Ulrich P.S.
