tlug: Kernel Hacking

[Yong-Ming Hua <yhua@example.com>]

Hi,

     I have got a weird thing right here. For some reasons, 
everytime I try to make new configurations, such as a new scsi
dev, other settings keep going back to defaults(are there such stuff 
as defaults anyway). Well such as /dev/mouse disappears, ATAPI
CD-ROM drive plays hide and seek. The network card switches to 3Com
which I have never had in my Linux box. What is going on here?
And this weird thing happens only with a particular machine. Orrrrr,
do I have to re-check all other items again? My mind is scattered.
Some clue please? BTW, this machine was given to me ages ago. My 
guess is the first owner set it on 3com and others and these were 
defaults.Buuuut, why do those items keep re-setting even though I 
never touch them?
