Could it be a hardware failure?

What

|
|
| (READPORT 0x0203)
| (ISOLATE CLEAR)
| (IDENTIFY *)
| (VERBOSITY 2)
|
| (CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 0
| (NAME "BNK1361/-1[0]{K56 SVD/SP }")
| ))
|
| (CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 1
|
| (IO 0 (SIZE 8) (BASE 0x0200) (CHECK))
| (INT 0 (IRQ 12 (MODE +E)))
|
|
| (NAME "BNK1361/-1[1]{K56 SVD/SP }")
| (ACT Y)
| ))
|
| (WAITFORKEY)
|
| The isapnptools home page has an interesting snippet:
|
| >>>>>
| 5-Jun-1999: Please also note that the error message
|
| /etc/isapnp.conf:46 -- FATAL - IO rangecheck attempted while device
| activated.
|
| is completely different from the problem reported on 28-May-1999, which
was that
| IO resources were being reported as in use when they shouldn't be. The
message
| above means what it says. If you want to reconfigure a device already
| activated, you should deactivate it first using (ACT N), see also
(CHECK).
| <<<<<
|
| You'e not managine to run isapnp twice somehow, are you? Something like
| originally running it from a user rc script at startup, and now your
upgraded
| Linux runs it already in one of the standard startup scripts?
|
| I'm dammed if I can see why it should find something else allocated at
0x200.
| The above modified isapnp.conf might get round this anyway; ISOLATE CLEAR
is
| supposed to reset all hardware back to their default settings.
|
| If the hint from the isapnptools page is right, I suppose putting:
|
| (CONFIGURE BNK1361/-1 (LD 1
|
| (NAME "BNK1361/-1[1]{K56 SVD/SP }")
| (ACT N)
| ))
|
| before the (CONFIGURE ... ACT Y)) might be worth a go as well.
