isapnp.conf file not showing up.

  When I do a 'pnpdump' I'm not getting the  isapnp.conf file generated.
It shows that it *should* be in /etc ( via locate) but it sure isn't
visible there. Any thoughts?

 Redhat version 5.2

 Also, I have the latest isapnptools (1.9) but I'll be darn if I can
figure out how to install it. I assume it needs compiling. How exactly
do I use the "make" command?

Don't have to "make" anything. The isapnptools rpm is on the RedHat CD.
Much easier to install/update/uninstall a
package using rpms than compiling it.

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom        (assuming you want to mount
your cdrom under /mnt/cdrom)
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm -Uvh isapnptools.version.-i386.rpm          (version = actual version
you have)

That's all.

 
 
 

1. deleted isapnp.conf and conf.modules

I'm running RH6.1.

I finally got all my peripherals working ... except my sound card.  So I
ran sndconfig, which edits my isapnp.conf and conf.modules, but copies
the originals to *.bak.  Well, sndconfig crashed while I was running it
and I had to run it again.  Stupid as I am, I forgot that the new *.bak
files would overwrite the true original isapnp.conf and conf.modules
files.

After I finish sndconfig, I find my sound works but modem doesn't work.
The debug file says that it can't find /dev/ttyS1 .  I ran:

and find that there are some improper configurations.  Unfortunately, I
lost the original isapnp.conf and conf.modules so I can't get back to a
set of working files.  I ran:

isapnp --config > /etc/isapnp.conf
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

I get a configuration that seems to operate properly.  Unfortunately, my
modem still doesn't work.  I already tried rebooting too.  Here are my
questions:

1)  Does sndconfig change the isapnp.gone file so that the --config flag
won't work?

2)  Are there any other files that could have gotten edited?

3)  There must be something wrong with my conf.modules but I don't
remember there being any alias commmands for the modem before.  Could
you send a sample line if so?  Is there any other way to configure the
conf.modules file?

4)  The original isapnp.conf and conf.modules were created during the RH
6.1 installation process.  Is there any way to run the same
configuration programs?

thanks a bunch, I'm dieing
