Category Listing: | How do I enable plug and play device to work with RedHat 5.0 |
I'm currently runing Win95 and LINUX RedHat 5.0 on my PC. Also, I've installed a number of plug and play devices (i.e. modem, ethernet card....) on the same PC. I wonder how (if possible) to enable the kernel so that the LINUX OS can work with the plug and play devices. Thank you. Steven Ong.
Alls the information you seek is in /usr/doc/isapnptools this package which is by default installed bij redhat 5.0 tells you how to use pnp devices what it comes down to is pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf then edit this isapnp.conf file you'll have to comment out the lines for which card you want to activate and setup an io adress and irq just comment out the appropriate lines then reboot or run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf and then you card's should be recognised .. hope this is enough information for you Cya!
