Thanks for the tip
Is "PNP OS" set to "no" in the BIOS? (When set to "yes", Windows can reconfigure the hardware setting in a way that doesn't make sense to Linux.)
You were right, it was set to "yes" ... but changing it doesn't seem to help.
Usually, most BIOSes have an option to "reset configuration". If you set that to "yes", the BIOS configuration will be reset on the next reboot. You could also change "resource configuration" (I think that's what it's called) from "auto" to "manual", and leave the manual setting as it is. If that doesn't work, you could "Load BIOS Defaults" and redo your settings. Resetting the BIOS on the motherboard by shorting a special jumper is another option. PNP can be difficult at time, but this is pretty much the whole bag of tricks. If none of this works, then it might be time to consider different hardware or seperating Linux and Windows to different machines. Christopher Reimer
