Decided to see if there was a book I should have read that would have prepared me to do a better job with my project. Spent an hour at a big chain bookstore, and found one useful reference, to getting a list of IRQs assigned in a running system, the command cat /proc/interrupt as well as sound info from cat /proc/sound. That was all I found. Wonder if anyone can post a URL or two for hardware debugging of Linux systems. It took me a bit of time and help from some patient people to learn how to fix an IRQ conflict in a notorious other OS. It did run, if badly, even with mouse and modem trying to use the same IRQ, and I was able to see the problem. Glanced through Scott Mueller's upgrading and repairing book, Linux version, some time ago, but don't recall seeing much of help. I wonder what utilities there are out there to do the same for a Linux box that has never had another OS on it. BTW, today received a S3 Savage4 32 MB AGP video card for the Linux box. It was inexpensive as a geek clearance house. DriverGuide says it is supported, as did vendor. Will swap out the floppy drive when I install the card. Plan to reinstall RH7.1 going through the partitioning and formatting phase to make a swap partition big enough for 128MB memory. Will also be on the lookout for name and location of the installation log file.....
