| This has nothing to do with interupts; as the error message *clearly* 
| states, the problem is I/O ports.  If you can change the "PnP OS" option 
| in your BIOS setup, you should turn it "off".  The problem is that your 
| BIOS isn't setting up the PCI device.

Thanks, Mike.  That is normally the first thing I do with a new laptop 
installation.  My surprise was that this BIOS almost doesn't let you
change anything and PnP isn't even mentioned.:-(

| If you can't turn the "PnP OS" option off, you're stuck until we finish 
| PCI resource assignment in 5.x.

Sounds like that is the only option that I have.

Thanks, Mike.
