So, you are saying that this is because there is not a seperate No BIOS and BIOS section (or entry prefix) in the hints file, so that in a non-PnP system, both the No BIOS and BIOS entries will be examined, whereas on a PnP system, only the BIOS entries will be examined? This would be an

Re: unknown PNP hardware

2001-08-26 Thread Mike Smith
I think the reason the hints are not just ignored is to allow people to fix rogue hardware. I'm willing to be corrected, Good. It's like it is right now because the PnP stuff was bolted on as an afterthought. since this looks like about 12 lines of code would make it ignore device.hints

Going off on a slight tangent, I wrote a perl script months ago that parsed the output of dmesg, and tried to determine which IRQs were used, and for what. One of the side-effects of this script is that it also tried to identify unknown PCI devices (but *only* if an IRQ is used), using

If we want a surface scrubber, we ought to have a real one; it's also very, very bad in the laptop context (since it keeps waking your disks up). If we're going to keep it, it should be turned off by default at any rate. diskcheckd is very annoying. Many doubt its usefulness in detecting
