[aclug-L] no luck on the PnP modem

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am still getting error 376 fatal resource conflict allocating 8 bytes of 
io at (2e8 & 2f8 both)  I first tried comm2 (ttys1) then I tried 
comm4(ttys3).  I did like John said to (check /proc dir).  under interrupts 
I found IRQ3 unassigned.  Under io I found 2e8 & 2f8 unassigned.  I am at 
my wits end.  This modem card functioned great under redhat 5.0 & 5.2.  But 
this 6.0 hates it.  Also the sound card is fully configuring and isapnp 
reports it allocated, and the interrupts and io show it there, but the 
sound init program (esa or something like that)  show a page full of 
frequencies it will not do.  Gnome reports the card defective.  But all of 
this worked on 5.0 & 5.2.  The sound card is a an on board PnP, it is part 
of the same which the video uses.(pci)  Both cards function on M$-win 95.

Ps thanks John, using the diskette worked great.. It now boots Linux in a 
couple of minutes instead of 25!  It may have been WD's ez boot fighting 
the LILO.
