First, I want to let you know that I am not a Tech of any kind, so whatever I
say must be taken as personal experience and is not necessarilly correct.
It looks to me as if pnpdump is not finding the detection port it needs to query
your devices, and it is checking a lot of them! <grin> Perhaps
something is working differently with the new CPU, or something has changed in
your BIOS ? Couldn't hurt to look.
When I first set up my PnP sound card in RedHat 5.2, I read somewhere that
pnpdump (or my sound card perhaps) uses edge detection. In my BIOS, (can't
remember the location) sampling was set to level, not edge. In order to
sucessfully set up my sound card, I had to change this setting.
Then I ran:
pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf (this time pnpdump found the port)
Next I edited the above file for my sound card (it was the only PnP device on
the ISA bus).
Then I ran:
isapnp
These are both command line utilities, and I ran them fron a Console, without X
loaded (I do not know if this matters, but I think not).
Finally, I restarted my system, and ran sndconfig to set up the sound card, and
all went well from there.
Also note that pnpdump is part of isapnptools, and works only with devices on
the ISA bus. To set up the PCI bus devices, you will need to use the pciutils,
of which I have no knowlege.
I hope something in here is of help,
