For redhat 6.2, simply use the isapnptools to set things up...

	/sbin/pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf

IIRC, if /etc/isapnp.conf exists on a redhat 6.x box, then the init
scrips will run /sbin/isapnp for you.

I don't need to worry about plug'n'pray with linux any more.  Turn
on "OS is PNP" in your bios and all will be sweet.

Bonus with the 2.4.x kernels is that pnp has moved into the kernel,
no longer any need for user-space apps to do it for you.
