You're right, the BIOS is doing a configuration (which can be seen on the early startup screen before grub is active) but this configuration will/can be overruled by Linux. Even if I'm using the same settings in the isapnp.conf as shown by the BIOS, it can happen that I got finally other settings (as described above). Unfortunately I was not able to detect a deterministic behaviour, but I've the impression that the settings are somewhat influenced by the order of the insertion of the hardware configuration scripts into the system and completely independent from the isapnp.conf settings. (I was playing around with this and was able to get usable settings for me now, but that was by luck and should IMHO not be the Linux way;) You mentioned that the kernel is handling it by itself, is it possible for the (su)user to influence the settings applied by the kernel? (I found within the kernel- documentation -> device-drivers.pdf -> "2.4 Device drivers PnP support" something linked to ISAPNP but for me it's not clear what mechanism initiates for example "pnp_register_protocol") -- 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.
