[ale] mobo swapout conflicts...

[David S. Jackson]

Hi, 

I recently swapped out a mobo and am winding up with what look
like conflicts.  The board has three PCI and four ISA slots.
(It's an *old* board!)  Everything seems to work fine, except
that I can't use my serial ports or my parallel ports.  Looks
like my old ISA soundblaster, which is working fine, is grabbing
irq 7, which is what the parallel port wants.  So I changed the
parallel port in BIOS to irq 5 io 378.  Trouble is, I don't know
how iospace works (all that hexadecimal??), so I also think I've
got that messed up.  Here's the output from /proc/interrupts and
/proc/ioports:

 *** /proc/interrupts ***

Also, what does that "(set)" by the serial ports mean?

Thanks!
