You mean why, shut down the plug and play ?
well it is explained in the mandrake installation manuals...

The appearance of plug'n'play and its widespread use means that all modern
BIOS can initialize these devices, but you still have to ask it to do so. If
your Windows 9x is initializing these devices instead of the BIOS, this will
need to be changed for use under Linux.
