Hi Lucas. I'm cc'ing this to the cooker mailing list where there is
ongoing discussion about the beta. If you'd like to subscribe, visit

Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you be specifying the module
information like "io=0x240,irq=3", with the comma seperating them and
not a space? It's been a while since I've used an ISA card where I've
had to do this, but for some reason I'm thinking that is the correct
way to do it. I'm not sure why it would load it twice and why the one
at the wrong address and irq is working (why I'm cc'ing this to
cooker), but can you try it using the comma? I could be way off base
here (like I said, it's been a while), but it's something to try at
any rate until you get a better answer.
