Hmm.  I've always had great luck with IRQ sharing.  I have two servers
that share all the time and do an extensive amount of PCI bus activity.

I do run 2.1.xxx however.

I found that my issues with the PCI cards stemmed a lot from the order in
which they existed.  It is quite true that some don't like sharing with
certain others.  Finding this is pretty quick, it generally happens on
boot.

It's neat seeing 3 and more devices sharing an IRQ and everything working
well.  Now if I can just convince certain cards to work in the bus
mastering slots...and yes, i'm implying some tulips amongst others ;)
