Resolving configuration conflicts

If you allocate resources in the Edit window which are in conflict with those used by another device on your system, the Possible Conflicts window appears when you click on OK.

This window provides a list of hardware configured on your system, along with an indication of the conflicting parameters. For example, if you allocate IRQ 5 to a sound card when it is used by your tape drive, the Possible Conflicts window appears with the conflicting value indicated.

From this window, you can:

After you return to the main window, apply any changes and relink the kernel.


NOTE: The Possible Conflicts window is generated using system information stored in /dev/string/cfg. To view this information at any time, enter /etc/hwconfig on the command line. This data shows which resources are in use before you run the ISA PnP Configuration Manager, and can alert you in advance to possible conflicts.
