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. :-)
