The current device resource assignment code should cope with static resource assignments, so hopefully it should be a matter of plugging hard codes into the device tree. If not please holler. The hdama has exactly the same issue of using non legacy addresses, so this is a general freebios2 issue. Although looking at that code there is another issue. You are using dev_find_device in vt8231.c inappropriately. dev_find_device should be virtually unnecessary in the freebios2 tree. Except when you are very carefully using dev_find_device will fail to handle multiple instances of a device. This is a very bad example to set when doing things properly causes everything to work transparently. > > Press <Enter> for default boot, or <Esc> for boot prompt... 2 1 > > timed out > > boot: hda1:/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 > > Detected floating bus > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > bad! bad! bad! > > > No such device > > boot: hda1:/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 > > No such device > > > > > > So, I will try to fix this, as I really want FILO working.

Using those addresses is great but this problem would have remained hidden if FILO did a scan through pci devices like etherboot does. > ron > p.s. did you know that if you rearrange the letters of IDE, it spells DIE? Well that would explain your initial disk on Pink.
