[aclug-L] Linux steam bath! (isapnp.conf????)

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to configure 2 devices.  1 snd card, 2 modem

sound card claims to be configured, but 6.0 refuses to talk to it.  The 
report say "OK" on each part of the sound card, and claims successful 
loading.  But GNOME claims no device present.

When I configure the modem card (add on to the end)  [I have serial port A 
as 3F8/IRQ4, serial port B as 3E8/IRQ4.   I am trying to configure 
isapnp.conf modem as 2F8/IRQ3.  The new mother board is all inernal, the 
only external board is the modem.  I cannot think of any device which would 
use address of 2F8, but Linux reports conflicting address.  Address already 
in use.  I have set the isolate/preserve flag.  If I try to use any other 
com address other than comm2/cua1 the preserve flag is set and the isapnp 
fails.  I hate this new motherboard, it is real fast but sucks as far as 
trying to configure.  I have spent just as much trouble configuring ww95. 
 But I know all the tricks on w95, and I am real weak with Linux.  But 6.0, 
if it ever gets going is real cool!
