[ltp] How Important is the Windows Partition?

[Martin Scheidel]

I had the same effect on my Thinkpad 600 until I found the isa_pnp = 0
switch and configured every IRQ/DMA by hand as I found it under windows.

I have a small dos partition on my thinkpad (760ED) only to use the dos
sound drivers to make my MWave sound hardware function.  I wish I didn't
have to do it that way, but that is the only way I could get it too
work.
Does anyone have a better way?  I don't think you will need the windows
partition.  There are linux versions of the thinkpad utils.
