I am finding that OSes are really dumb, in general. Much to my regret, we are going to have to assign these in linuxbios. It won't be 100% reliable otherwise. > Not to forget the mptable - that contains additional information on > which busses are available - information that Linux obviously don't like > to read from there but from the irq table. in SMP mode, the mptable is used. In UP mode with IO-APIC support, the mptable is used, But in Old Fashioned 1981 PC mode, the IRQ table is used and the MPTABLE ignored. what a mess. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
