Usually that error is due to a resource (irq & i/o) conflict.

Ensure you have PnP OS disabled in the bios as that alone can cause PCI devices to not be detected and configured.

Is there a pentaval0 device in /dev?

ls -al /dev/pentav*

I Disable the PnP OS and also check pentaval0 device in /dev , i didnt find it.
Still got problem with missing script file.
So can u tell me how to enter irq & i/o maunally.

Now plz tell me what should i do.
Plz help me

cat /proc/interrupts

cat /proc/ioports

Look for the irq and i/o of the device.

insmod pentaval io=0x### irq=#

You can try adding

alias pentaval0 pentaval

to /etc/modules.conf

and then run

depmod -ae

(both as root)
