Hal, Thanks for the reply. I agree that it's probably related to the BIOS. Although it's a Phoenix BIOS, it is in an HP box, and they seem to have stripped the vast majority of the normal options out to either dumb it down or cut cost. Either way, no option to either assign an IRQ to a slot, or to turn PnP off. All you can do is reserve an IRQ for a "legacy" board. Sounds to me that this is more of a "legacy" BIOS. Bought this machine second-hand just to learn Linux. I get to jump right into the guts - I thought Linux was to the point where I wouldn't need to know about things like modprobe, insmod, demesg, interrupts, etc. At least it's been fun.

Its a BIOS related problem. Do you have an option to disable PnP, or non-PnP OS, or some variation of this? I have the same card and its worked fine since day one. In fact, it exists side by side with an onboard eepro. -- Hal Burgiss -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
