Hello- My home system has a CD attached to a SB Vibra 16 board, with 2 other drives off the single channel IDE controller. If I don't first boot into DOS or OS/2, the CD is incorrectly recognized (hdg instead of hdc) and is inaccessable.
Isapnp apparently comes up too late in the boot to help. I currently get messages about resource conflicts when it tries to initialize (though things work since the card's been warmed booted from another OS). I've checked the settings and they match what I use in DOS and OS/2. How early can I get isapnp to initialize the card? Should I put the script in rc.boot, or elsewhere? Under OS/2 I need a special little (3rd party) driver to specifically initialize the IDE port ... does anyone know whether this is also a problem under Linux which isapnp doesnt address on a cold boot? Thanks for any suggestions! Kenward Vaughan
