On to other things, this is a mix-n-match system; ide & scsi. The sound blaster 16 conflicts with my 1542cf card. The 1542 uses 330-333h, so does the sb16. All of the kernels I've built hung on booting, or the sb16 was never probed. None of the 'ALLOW_CONFLICT' kernel options did anything. Thats why I tried the your Pnp patch. Currently, I have the 1542 set to another address, however the kernel is still looking for aha0 at 0x330. I don't really want to change the settings for the 1542, I'd rather change the sb16. Pnpinfo offers a variety of configurations; 'good', 'acceptable', and 'suboptimal'. pnpinfo gave me two 'good' configurations; IRQ 5 & ports 0x220, 0x330 & 0x388, basically in line with the settings listed in the sb16 manual. The other 'good' choice is IRQ 10 & ports 0x168, 0x36e, no DMA listed. Can I configure pnp.c to the other 'good' choice; IRQ 10 & ports 0x168, 0x36e, even though the printed sb16 manual never lists these values as possible options? Or will the sb16 break if I do this? Again, Thank you for creating the ISA_PnP patch. Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com >--->--->--->--->---> FreeBSD 2.1.5-R <---<---<---<---<---<
