IRQ Assignment Conflicts
Most PCI devices can share an IRQ with another device, but they cannot use an IRQ simultaneously. To avoid this type of conflict, see the documentation for each PCI device for specific IRQ requirements.
IRQ Line | Assignment | IRQ Line | Assignment |

IRQ0 | 8254 timer | IRQ8 | |
IRQ1 | Keyboard controller | IRQ9 | PCI IRQ pool definition |
IRQ2 | Cascade for IRQ9 | IRQ10 | PCI IRQ pool definition |
IRQ3 | Serial port (COM2) or PCI | IRQ11 | PCI IRQ pool definition |

IRQ5 | PCI IRQ pool definition | IRQ13 | Processor |

IRQ7 | Reserve | IRQ15 | Secondary IDE controller |
PCI IRQ pool definition is the BIOS code assigned at run time.
