Minor problems with potato.
Hi,
I've done a clean install of potato today and had the same problems with
runaway mod probes as Daniel Barclay.
I also had and still have a problem with the lp device. This is turned
on in the BIOS Settings, it is at 0x378 and IRQ7, however when I try
installing the driver for this I get an error (unfortunately I can't
give the exact text - I will be able to tomorrow when I build another
server). Basically it tells me that the resource is busy, and that the
lp module can't be installed.
Also on the drivers setup screen, in Miscellaneous there are TWO
drivers, one for Serial and the other for Generic Serial. Are there any
differences ?
At the moment gpm doesn't seem to work either, it's as if the serial
devices are invisible. It's probably a problem on my behalf, i.e. I've
forgotten to set the IRQ's properly in the BIOS.
