ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ sterring problem!!

[meistwer]

Hi there,

I´ve just upgraded my machine with a new asus motherboard and amd athlon xp cpu. I did a clean installation on the hard disk of windows 98.
After install all the drivers and some software such office and other tools I went to system information in accesories to check out that there wasn´t nothing wrong on the pc.
In the field problem devices in components I found that it have few problems showing

ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Sterring

What´s that?. How can I resolve it?.
I ever saw it before.

Thanks a lot.

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration & Power Interface. As the name suggests, it is developed primarily for Power Management of the CPU and other system devices. This happens at the BIOS level.

IRQ Steering is a feature that allows dynamic assignment of IRQs to PCI hardware devices, and generally happens via the Operating System (Windows).

Your motherboard manufacturer should provide drivers for the board which should include one for this device - go to their website and get the latest driver.

Hope this helps
