I found out why after going through the BIOS again and checking the manual! Stupid PC hardware designed to save a penny and costs dollars in time and effort! I have an Asus A7M266-D board (I've had excellent experience with Asus over the last few years in many machines) that shares IRQs for slots 2/3. I had an Initio A100u2w SCSI controller in slot 2 and the Santa Cruz in slot 3. I moved the Santa Cruz to slot 5, the USB card that was in slot 5 to slot 3 and when I booted RH it found the new hardware and installed it - works like a champ right now!
As I said I've had excellent luck with Asus but this board they were asleep when they designed it. I got it because 1) I wanted Asus, 2) I did NOT want a VIA chipset and 3) I needed dual AMD Athlon support so this is what I had a choice of! It works but they had no USB on board - they supplied an addin card (eats up one slot) and they share the IRQ for slot 2,3. > On Mon, 04 Nov 2002 17:34:06 -0700 Andrew Mathews > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Brett I.
