Re: SUMMARY: Mylex 958 problems w/2.3"

I have been using this card in isa compatible mode in alternate mode.
The only problem I am running into is its inability to properly
initialize the card using irq 5 or anything else besides irq 9. I have
built kernels but am curious why auto detect fails. Any help would be
appreciated.

                                  Cheers;
