Hi,
Virgin linux\slack user here. Had a ton of fun customizing a kernel this afternoon. Mostly successful, but I see a couple errors in my demsg log that I would like to fix or at least understand before I continue on my linux journey! Let's take a look at my errors shall we?

---------------------- SNIP --------------------------
First, the error "EHCI: early BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?)". From the kernel help info, EHCI is required for supporing USB 2.0, which my motherboard deffinatly contains. Why the error though? How could I fix this?
Second, I'm receiving 7 pcie "invalid IRQ" errors. I have TWO PCI-E 16x slots on my motherboard. Each contains a Nvidia 7800GT 256MB graphics card. Both of these cards are in SLI. Why so many errors? Is this just a single IRQ conflict? In windows, I have no IRQ issues. What should I do?
Thanks fellow slackers!
Tomas
