I just responded to the HP thread, and I remember this patch.
I hadn't had a chance to check this up. Pls let me know importance of
this,
and I will ask around the office wrt to this patch.. You don't think
this shouldn't break anything else? , such
as pci-express cards, cuase we have 1030 pcie, as well as FC and SAS
that
are express.
