I believe that I have to use ep0. It is configured for port : 0x300 net irq 10. When the machine boots in dos, and I run the install : software that came with the card, it says that the card is on irq 11 : even though I told the BIOS to put it on irq 10 (plug and play is : disabled). The Kernel expects it on irq 10. What can I do? I have : PD440FX motherboard with a Pentium II. Do I have to jumper something on : the motherboard? The card itself has no jumpers. Can I just switch the : device to use irq 11 in the kernel? Any help would be appreciated. : Thanks. No problem. When you see the bootprompt, type -c. At the next prompt, type "visual". You can change the IRQ that the kernel looks at in there. -- Matt Behrens Zigg Computer Services zigg@iserv.net http://www.iserv.net/~zigg/
