Interrupt storm on FreeBSD 5.3

[Daniel S. Haischt]

Hello,

I tried the following at the boot prompt:

# unload
# load /boot/kernel/kernel (<- my custom kernel)
# set hint.ohci.0.irq="15"

The command 'show' at the boot loader prompt
shows that the above device hint was set
appropriatly.

I did this because I set the OHCI device in the
computer's bios to IRQ 15. I additionally included
the above device hint in the file /boot/device.hints.

Tho - During the boot process I am still getting:

ohci0: <SiS 5571 USB controller> mem 0xe4000000-0xe4000fff irq 11 at 
device 1.2 on pci0

Which finally leads to the same interrupt storm on
"irq11: ohci+"

Why is the device hint not recognized during the
boot process? Is it because I did enable DEVICE_POLLING
in my kernel configuration file? But I thought
this option only belongs to network cards ...
