Hi,

I was just looking around in /proc/bus a little and I tried
'cat /proc/bus/pnp/escd' and I got this:

I assume this is for ISA Plug 'n Pray devices. I currently have no such
devices in my machine (I have an old sb16 and an ne2k ISA NIC but none are
operating in pnpmode)

This is from my bootmessages:

isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
isapnp: No Plug & Play device found
PnPBIOS: Found PnP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00f7540
PnPBIOS: PnP BIOS version 1.0, entry 0xf0000:0x68f4, dseg 0xf0000
PnPBIOS: 16 nodes reported by PnP BIOS; 16 recorded by driver
PnPBIOS: PNP0c02: ioport range 0x4d0-0x4d1 has been reserved
PnPBIOS: PNP0c02: ioport range 0xcf8-0xcff could not be reserved
PnPBIOS: PNP0c02: ioport range 0x400-0x43f has been reserved
PnPBIOS: PNP0c02: ioport range 0x440-0x44f has been reserved
PnPBIOS: PNP0c02: ioport range 0x290-0x297 has been reserved

It's an Award BIOS on a Tyan S1830S board.

and now that I ran 'dmesg' again I see this:
 <3>PnPBIOS: get_stat_res: Unexpected status 0x8d

Hopefully someone knows what the problem is.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
