The script itself seems to be executed correctly and one will get also an response that the settings were applied successfully like: Board 1 has Identity fb 00 af 9c 2b 00 25 23 39: NIC2500 Serial No 11508879 [checksum fb] Board 2 has Identity fb 00 a8 ce 7e 01 c6 23 39: NICe601 Serial No 11082910 [checksum f7] NIC2500/11508879[0]{National Instruments, AT-MIO-16DE-10} Port 0x320; IRQ5 DMA6 DMA7 --- Enabled OK NIC2500/11508879[1]{National Instruments, AT-MIO-16DE-10} DMA5 --- Enabled OK NICc601/11082910[0]{National Instruments AT-GPIB/TNT (Plug and Play)}: Port 0x2C0; IRQ9 --- Enabled OK But these settings are not used. With cat /proc/interrupts one will get: 5: 0 XT-PIC-XT atgpib 7: 78 XT-PIC-XT 8: 0 XT-PIC-XT rtc0 10: 430 XT-PIC-XT ohci_hcd:usb2, ohci_hcd:usb3, ohci1394, EMU10K1, eth0, eth1 Here you can see that the GPIB card is assigned to IRQ5 instead to IRQ 9 and the DAQ card is not assigned at all (maybe as it normally uses the IRQ5) After this experience I deleted the isapnp.conf file but the ISA-PNP card(s) were enabled anyhow with the same (unwanted) settings like before. This behaviour doesn't allow the user to apply the necessary settings to avoid irq and or io conflicts with other hardware as it was possible in the past. In the past means at least prior to opensuse 10.3 and 11.1 as I explored the same behaviour in the mean time also with these distridutions (which wasn't realized before as with these distributions the settings were "by accident" the wanted ones). The system is a 32bit PIII board (GA-6va7+). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. apply an isapnp.conf file in /etc 2. boot the system and compare the settings of isapnp.conf with the real ones 3. Actual Results: settings of isapnp.conf are ignored Expected Results: if an isapnp.conf file is availlable, it's settings should be used -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
