ahhh... yes, 've ust reminded myself of one of the problems...
pnpdump segfaults.... with the following message
(READPORT 0x027b)
(ISOLATE PRESERVE)
(IDENTIFY *)
(VERBOSITY 2)
(CONFLICT (IO FATAL)(IRQ FATAL)(DMA FATAL)(MEM FATAL)) # or WARNING
Segmentation fault
hmm.... doesnt look good... but i'm not really familiar with pnpdump, its usually worked fine in the past.
from what i'm guessing... this output is a sure sign i need to try moving my cards around?...

yup. it works fine in win98, but on rebooting to linux its not there.
interestingly, win98 wont start it automatically, i usually have to reconfigure it in windoze before it runs....
