The Iwill Motherboard boots and operates fine now. Here is the setup: 1. MB settings for PnP/PCI are: set IRQ 4,3 to Legacy ISA 2. Card gets set to factory default ( 0x130 base adr ), PnP enabled. 3. Change the /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC ( or whatever you use ) line: controller aha0 at isa? port 0x330 blah blah blah to controller aha0 at isa? port 0x130 blah blah blah 4. rebuild the kernel, install it and reboot. Item 1 is needed since without it, the motherboard gets confused and does not map the sio1 (second serial port) properly. result is the OS never sees it. Thanks to David G. for the hint about /conf/GENERIC rather than my hack of isa.h. Function is beauty ---------- 'Go anywhere you want today.. '
