The whole idea is inherently bogus. The fix needs to go into the config code and the default config files --- i386/isa/ncr5380.c optional nca device-driver ! i386/isa/npx.c optional npx device-driver i386/isa/pcaudio.c optional pca device-driver --- i386/isa/ncr5380.c optional nca device-driver ! i386/isa/npx.c standard npx device-driver i386/isa/pcaudio.c optional pca device-driver --- Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
