Re: isapnp problems?
Well, IRQs are always a headache. But if humans can't do it, do you think computers can do it better? look at /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports to see what your system is taking. (You probably know that already.) Anyways, back to the problem. My first suggestion is to change the following line in isapnp.conf L42 (CONFIGURE ROK4120/305419896 (LD 0 to (CONFIGURE ROK4120/305419896 (LD 0 (ACT N) See if that clears things up. This resets the card. Good luck! Marshal

I haven`t tried removing CHECK yet, hoping someone can throw some more light on
the situation first. I have to admit that trying to understand IOs and IRQs
makes my brain bleed!

Sorry for the legth of this one.
I`m using potato and a 2.2.13 kernel. I`ve had a working modem for ages
under slink, but a floppy and an ethernet card that refused to work because
of irq and io errors so last night I tried to sort it out finally. It seems
that pnpdump --config had grabbed the floppy`s irq for the modem so I just
did a fresh pnpdump without uncommenting isapnp.conf and the floppy worked
fine. However when I tried to reconfigure the modem it only gave me the
option of irq3 which didn`t work or irq5 which was taken by the network
card.
After a lot of reading and teeth gnashing I gave up and removed the
ethernet card as it is unessential so as to put the modem back on irq5
where it always was before. Now on boot isapnp tells me that that there`s a
fatal error trying to check the io because it`s already in use but the
modem works fine.
Is the kernel already doing isapnp`s job and if so can I get rid of isapnp
altogether or am I misunderstanding something again. :-)
Thanks
Paul

Re: isapnp problems?
You may want to remove the (CHECK) from the end of the lines which configure the IO addresses. If you could send me the error messages, I could tell you for sure. Actually, you're whole isapnp.conf file would be helpful too. Marshal From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: isapnp problems? Date: Sat, 4 Dec 1999 08:56:36 + Sorry for the legth of this one.

Re: isapnp problems
Quoting Paul Nathan Puri([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'm trying to get the modem going. Windows reported that it sat on IRQ 4, on io port 0110-0117. WT == Wayne Topa [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: WT That is a strange looking port address. Common address for COM 1 WT is 3F8 on 'normal' PC hardware. This is OK. It looks like it is an internal modem (evil), that's why he uses isapnp What modem is it anyway? It's not one of the winmodems that only work with windows 95/98 ? Ciao, Martin

Hey folks! I'm having a hell of a time getting the serial ports configured on my girlfriend's 486. I'm trying to get the modem going. Windows reported that it sat on IRQ 4, on io port 0110-0117. I've edited /etc/rc.boot/0setserial and /etc/isapnp.conf repeatedly. I'm ready to give up and install either RH or windows if I can't make this work. She needs a PC soon and this is getting serious.
