How do I resolve hardware conflicts?
Hardware conflicts may occur when two or more peripheral devices are set to use
the same I/O address, IRQ line or DMA channel.
If you are not sure which device is causing the conflict, you can isolate the source
of the difficulty by temporarily removing all devices (except your modem and
essential devices such as the disk controller). After that, add the devices back one
at a time until the device that is causing the conflict is found.
