Thanks hwh, Unfortunately, the (buggy) BIOS settings for this laptop are almost non-existent! The bl**dy thing has just a couple of settings (like boot order and boot splash screen options). There's no where in there a setting for IrDA, IRQ's, or PnP. My mobile phone has a bigger choice of BIOS settings than this laptop! That said I can always experiment with forcing IO and IRQ numbers through modprobe. Is it possible to do that via /etc/modules.autoload.d, or will I need to do it by hand? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
