Greetings -- I have a SCSI card installed in my system. I'm not using it, but left it in so I can use it if/when I need it. In Win98 I just have it disabled in that hardware profile and it doesn't take any resources. Is there a way I can do the same in Linux 6.3? So I don't have to actually remove the card, but make it not seen by Linux and not take up an IRQ? -JD- John W Denning A+ ( ( ( ) ) ) jdenning@pobox.com Salt Lake City, UT ) ) )( ( ( (801)322-2056 JD's UnderWater Photo Course - http://www.pobox.com/~jdenning/uwpc.html -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

If it's a PCI card, you have no control over that. If it's an ISA card, and it's not configured (ISAPNP tools), then it's not taking any resources anyway :). -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
It is PCI. So the only way to get rid of it is to actually take it out? If so that isn't a BIG deal, just wanted to avoid that if I could. At 01:04 PM 2/9/2000 , you wrote:

Your BIOS is going to hand that device an IRQ, whether it asks for one or not. Since an IRQ is all that's at stake, you need not take such drastic measures to remove it. Most modern BIOSes use one IRQ, and share it accross two slots. Even if there is a device in the slots next to the SCSI card, since there is no kernel module loaded for said SCSI card, the resource is not used by the card. In short: Get over it. ;) -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
