Thanks so much to Sujal for providing the PnP code, and Paul Traina for pointing out where it can be found on the 2.2.5 media! I have a new machine with some PnP devices, and I'm in the process of installing it with 2.2.5. (One of the PnP devices is my modem, and that's how I'm going to get to -stable, so I have to get 2.2.5 bootstrapped for PnP.) I installed the patch in the xperimnt directory on 2.2.5 disc 3; the patch installed cleanly. I also installed pnpinfo and it worked fine; got all the parameters I needed. I added "controller pnp0" to the config. file and rebuilt the kernel. However, a boot -v doesn't show any lines with "pnp0" in it! So I have some questions: (1) Should it matter where in the kernel config. file the "controller pnp0" line is? (Right now it's almost at the bottom.) (2) Should boot -v print something with "pnp0" even if I got the hard-coded settings wrong somehow, and it couldn't find any devices? If it should be printing something, what can I look for next that I might have done wrong? (3) I read in the mailing lists about typing "pnp" after boot -c; will this help me at all? (Or will it even work with this version of the PnP software?) I'd be happy to send my config. file and/or my dmesg output, but I don't think you'll find anything useful in them; config. file was just a one line change (adding "controller pnp0") and dmesg output has no pnp0 in it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! -- Brent J.
