Sysinstall seems to do extra work to break the npx0 case. Several drivers muck with their id_irq struct member (and other struct members) converting it from -1 to the actual value. Such changes should not be saved. There is more of a problem with id_irq for npx0 because bad things happen if id_irq is not initially a power of 2 (and it often gets changed to 0). Bruce
