pnpdump only generates an output with several options. You'll have to
modify each one, and write the results to /etc/isapnp.conf (pnpdump >
/etc/isapnp.conf does the task). So, You'll pick 1 of up to 3 IRQs, etc,
uncommenting the lines (removing #). If you have a dual boot machine, I
recommend you to use the same IRQ's an IO's values that are used under
windows.
I think that if you have isapnp installed, you don't have to do something
else. It'll read /etc/isapnp.conf and configure your card(s).
You should try to do isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf, before booting, so you'll
know the results before booting.

I'm a newbie(mostly). I'm answering you because I did a lot of mess with
isapnp, and my system did not crash.

Speaking of isapnp...

2000-10-08 Thread Nick Cook

I'm trying to use isapnp in a last ditch effort to get Potato to recognize my
SCSI card (PnP ISA). isapnpdump sees it, and writes the config file.

However, the rather sketchy docs recommend putting the isapnp command early in
the boot-up process. Call me chicken, but I don't wanna just mess around with
that. So, anybody recommend a good place to stick isapnp in the boot process;
e.g., which directory?

As always, thanks.
