Marvin, you know that I am not able to change almost anything in my Acer TM290 Bios Panel Infrared Ports (!) LPT Ports Enable or disable Legacy USB Boot device LCD auto DIM Passwords and.... Exit Thank you, Daniel 1) Within the boot up BIOS, change from a Windows to a non-PNP/Other Operating System type. Instructions for accessing BIOS are at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html within: Additional Resourcces. 2a) Add an option "pci=routeirq" to the kernel boot up line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marvin Stodolsky" <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Daniel Stonek" <daniel@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 3:03 AM Subject: Re: My ModemData.txt > Dan, > > Looks like you will have to additionally try options suggested on Bootup.txt > > MarvS > > On 3/17/07, Daniel Stonek <daniel@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Thank you Marvin for your help. > > That's what I did.
