This is to avoid probing. I do this, but when the module is being added to the kernel a little blip comes across the screen. The blip says something about 'root no such user'. Then the installation is marked as failed. This is a little odd since module configuration comes before configuring the root account in the install process. I guess I could go buy another card, but I would prefer to use the one I got for free. There is a unique pleasure in finding good uses for other peoples junk.

How can you know what module, io, and irq to use if you have no information on the cards? I do this, but when the module is being added to the kernel a little blip comes across the screen. The blip says something about 'root no such user'. This is a bug in the install program. It seems to be harmless, and I don't think it is related to your problem. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do with it what you will.
