Greets,

I'm using 2.1.29 and havn't had a single problem yet. However, I
was just cat'ing some of my /proc files and noticed something really odd.
Take a look at this cat of /proc/ioports:

0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : npu
0170-0177 : ide1
01f0-01f7 : ide0
0220-022f : soundblaster
02f8-02ff : serial(set)
0300-030f : 3c509
0376-0376 : ide1
0388-038b : OPL3/OPL2
03c0-03df : vga+
03f0-03f5 : floppy
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR
03f8-03ff : serial(set)
6000-60be : …ötq‹>ƒ~ uöFt‹F÷Ð#G8¨t j
f000-f007 : IDE DMA
f008-f00f : IDE DMA

Sorry for including the 8bit text, but, that's how it looked. Here is my
system:
