I may be wrong, but should not the static devices be probed BEFORE the PCI and Plug&Play ones ? At least, PnP and PCI devices could be changed if there is a conflict. Also, if a static device has not been used, PCI or PnP could use it's reference number. Is there something wrong with this statement ? Other option for PnP (maybe PCI, but I have no knowledge about) would be to transform it in a real bus, and use "pcm0 at pnp?", instead of "pcm0 at isa?". In the device, check to which bus it's attached, and chose the right probes. After this, is just a matter of changing other devices: "sio1 at pnp?", "ed0 at pnp?", etc. JMHO, Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 jonny@coppe.ufrj.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro UFRJ/COPPE/CISI PGP fingerprint: 29 C0 50 B9 B6 3E 58 F2 83 5F E3 26 BF 0F EA 67 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
