Just a thought. considering that PnP autodetect requires quite some effort in the code (to retrieve used resources from BIOS and check for conflicts with legacy ISA devices, and then it might still fail as it does in many BIOSes) and that with the "dset" patches the manual configuration only needs to be done once (and can be put in /kernel.config), I don't plan to put any work on this. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________
