Hi Thorsten

Do you have Mandrake initialise the card with the MODPROBE command in
/etc/rc.d/local?
If so, update the IRQ setting there and reboot.

The line in my rc.local:

modprobe hisax io=0x180 irq=10 type=3 protocol=2 id=line0

(I use a Teles card which runs through Hisax)

[newbie] IRQ Problems after BIOS modifications

2000-04-26 Thread Thorsten Brenner

Hi to all,

i had my Dual-Boot-System running. (windows 98 and Mandrake 7.0).
I decided to make modifications in my BIOS to optimizes it. After
that my Windows assigned the new IRQ to my Hardware, but Mandrake
didn´t. Now i want to setup my internetconnection by ISDN, but
whatever i do, Mandrake says that the device is busy.
Now my question:
Do i have to install Mandrake again or is there a chance to reset
hardware settings in Mandrake?

problem !
