That means that there is NOT a conflict between RH9 and my hardware, it is obviously a problem with RH9 failing to recognize the exact same hardware from one clean load to the next.
So something changed that 1) caused RHL-9 to no longer see it, and 2) That change doesn't affect the previous RHL-8.0 install, which still works.
The knee-jerk tendency to blame the user is a M$ attitude -- it is unwelcome in the Linux world.
First, you ignored the suggestion, check the BIOS settings that may have been changed. PNP is a horrid beast and the cause of many problems.
Second, we still don't know what type of hardware this is. Is it internal or external? Is it PCI or ISA or integrated? When it's detected buy RHL-8.0, what information can you give us about it, like IO, IRQ, and driver?
