I can see how they would do this, but I still find it worrisome. I would guess that if the BIOS knows about a particular device it sets bus master, but it is hard to say. I would still not want to take standard BIOS behavior as a rule, given how many things that standard BIOSes seem to get wrong :-) ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
