I find myself a bit unsettled at the notion of not really being able to blame this behavior on BIOS bugs.

That sounds like it could explain lots of the init/irq problems we've had on various systems. Makes me a lot more interested in seeing this fix go in ... :) For backwards compatibility, the early reset should not be the default. There aren't many systems where it's a problem. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
