Hi Jo, > The contents of /proc/ioports: > > regawebdev proc # cat ioports > (...) > 0295-0296 : pnp 00:07 OK, that's what I suspected then. You have PNP ACPI enabled, and before 2.6.15, the w83627hf driver doesn't work properly with this option enabled. Your options are: 1* Upgrade to a 2.6.15+ kernel. Or: 2* Boot with pnpacpi=off. Or: 3* Recompile your kernel with CONFIG_PNPACPI disabled. -- Jean Delvare
