My reason for this is that my soundcard (SB ViBRA16X) and Modem (Diamond SupraExpress 56i) both were detected and worked fine (the SB with voxware drivers, the modem with the sio driver) before the switch to the PnP stuff, and the controller being taken out. My computer won't even boot with the PnP stuff unless I turn PnP OS to on in bios. I want PnP OS to be off when I boot so that the soundcard and the Modem will be usable. I can try to make the necessary changes to the kernel myself by adding an option like options PNPOFF or something like that and making it revert back to the old behavior before controller pnp0 was taken out of the kernel, and made the default behavior. I say I will try because this will be my first time doing such a thing. If anyone else is having the same problems, let me know, reply to me directly because the address I have the mailing list mail going to is temporarily down.
