I want install 4.1 RELEASE on my old 486's, with ISA bus only and 
without bios PnP support. 

First has SMC EliteULTRA 8416 software selectable PnP operation 
- ethernet
Second has Emerging Technology ET-25 (not PnP) - synchronous 
interface

Problems (with 4.1 only, 2.2.7 works perfectly):
Ad. 1 - SMC's are "unknown" for 4.1 Setting PnP "on" or "off" has 
no visible effect. All my card eeprom settings (port,int,mem,etc) are 
changed after start-up.
Ad. 2 - The system hangs on start-up. May be because during PnP 
scanning, something was written to register.

I think that If I could stop PnP scanning and setting, my problems 
will be solved.

Best Regards,
Piotr Sroczynski
