Although Linux prior to kernel 2. The solution? To sum it all up, except for certain cases, it is highly recommended that you to set this BIOS feature to No , irrespective of the operating system you actually use. Exceptions to this would be the inability of the BIOS to configure the devices properly in PnP mode and a specific need to manually configure one or more of the devices.
This is rather different from what the name implies, right? Before you can determine the appropriate setting for this feature, you should first determine the kind of BIOS that came with your motherboard. You will also need to find out if your operating system supports and is currently running in ACPI mode. Please note that while an operating system may tout ACPI support, it is possible to force the operating system to use the older PnP mode.
It seems to do neither and thinks the actual configuration is the same as in the registry when in fact it's different. But if the registry happens to contain a bus-resource configuration that is exactly the same as how the BIOS configures things, then everything will obviously work OK. A device will thus work fine if the BIOS has configured it the same as recorded in the registry.
In some cases, these two just happen to be in sync and you don't need to do anything. Here's one scenario. Then Windows configures most everything and saves that configuration in its registry. Thus the actual configuration of the hardware and what Windows has in its registry are now different. If this configuration is without conflicts, Windows will hopefully leave it alone and save it in it's Registry. Then the ESCD and the registry are in sync. Another method is to remove devices that are causing problems in Windows by clicking on "remove" in the Device Manager.
Windows will then reinstall the devices, hopefully using the bus-resource settings as configured by the BIOS. Be warned that Windows will likely ask you to insert the Window installation CD since it sometimes can't find the driver files and the like even though they are still there. A workaround for this is to select "skip file" which will avoid installing the file from a CD. Catharines, Ontario Canada. Joined Dec 13, Location Fl. I experimented under W2K. I had a couple of problems using "YES", nothing serious, but annoying nonetheless.
Things like unexplainable lock ups which is really unusual in W2K. Putting it back to "NO" solved those mysterious problems. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads.

Bios settings are checked and pnp is enabled when available, but not all machines have that option in the BIOS.
We have used the same image file for several years, and this just became an issue within the last few months. We recently re-burned this image to several new disks and all result in the same issue.
Thanks for all the help so far guys! Joined Jul 9, Messages 8, Ultima99 Supreme [H]ardness. Joined Jul 31, Messages 4,
