I'm having a problem with Mandrake 7.1's HardDrake configurator.
When I launch the tool, it asks me to either detect or skip ISA device
detection. If I choose "detect", the tool begins the ISA detection and then
locks my machine cold--only way out is a hard reboot. If I choose "skip",
the tool begins PCI detection and then locks my machine cold--only way out
is a hard reboot.
I know that none of my devices are conflicting because the device managers
in WinMe, Win2k, and BeOS never report conflicts and all of my devices work
fine under those systems. I know that this isn't an issue with Linux trying
to configure the devices via PnP, because I have my BIOS set to do the PnP
configuration and to tell the OS not to configure PnP devices itself.
I've also been able to configure some of my devices by hand the
old-fashioned way--by following the HOWTOs--and that has proven successful
where HardDrake has been of no use to me at all.
So, two questions:
(1) Has anyone else had this problem with HardDrake locking up the
machine?
(2) Does anyone know how to fix it or have any ideas for me to try?
