That's what I figured, but since I ran into the problem, I figured others
might benefit from my additions too.  :)

I'm using a dual 400Mhz PentII in a SuperMicro(i think) mother board.
384M ram (if that matters).  I've attached a cpuinfo dump, and an
"lspci -vv".

One thing I just noticed here is that the mpeg2 board and my usb
controller want to use the same IRQ.  Does that matter in this case?
