What about a similar problem?:

I try to use linux on several test system we have but some are
configured to use level interrupts (Netware) and linux seems to expect
edge interrups. Is there a way to handle both types of settings in the
interrupt routines so it is possible to dualboot between the various
OS'es, or use a linux bootfloppy on machines without using a
screwdriver :-)?
