[gentoo-dev] /etc/rc.d/init.d/isapnp has incorrect path

[Justin Vander Ziel]

As of a couple of days ago, I had not yet seen anything in the gentoo-dev
discussion lists about this problem. Apparently most of you lucky folks have
moved on from the old isapnp hardware. However, for those unlucky few among
your users, this problem should be fixed: there are two places in the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/isapnp script where the path is incorrectly listed as (at
least as of 1.0_rc5) path of "/sbin/isapnp". The correct path (again, as of
1.0_rc5) is /usr/sbin/isapnp

Also, isapnp kernel support does not work for the vast majority of old
isapnp devices it seems (the CMI8330 aka SoundPro chip, for one) and the
alsa module isapnp seems to conflict with the isapnp package tools.
Unfortunately, I have yet to lick this configuration issue so I cannot be
definitive about any of this except to say that plug-and-pray is a curse I
would hesitate to call down upon anyone except my worst enemies.
