Hi,
    I have just used the "dmesg | grep irq" command, and I can not see
anything that looks like IRQ 15 except for this:

vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 20 int a irq 11 on pci0:15

I am not really sure about what the 15 at the end means, so I just copied
it down onto this e-mail...  I have also tried the "dmesg | grep 0x"
command, and I couldn't find anything that is within the range of
0x170-0x17F.  I also went into Windows 95, and did a properties on
my computer. Then I selected view by connection on my device manager.
Then I went to my secondary IDE controller, which is connected to my
CD-ROM, and view the propertie of the IDE controller, and here is
what I've got:
Input/Output range  0170-0177
Input/Output range 0376-0376
Interrupt Request    15
Input/Output range  FFA8-FFAF

Could it be because the Range suppose to be 0170 -0177 instead of
0170 -017F?  If so, how do you change that?  (I can't find a way of
changing the second value, "017F")

Anyway, I have to thank you for helping me so much!

Frankie

I have tried using the other settings in the past, but none of them worked...
