First, a request:

    I'm running into a problem with the new-bus PCI bus probing code,
    and am not sure where to look.  If someone could give me an overview
    of how new-bus works, I would appreciate it.

Now to the problem:

    I have a Compaq 3000 which I'm trying to get working.  Under
    -STABLE, it detects 4 PCI buses, and probes the devices on 
    the buses correctly.  Under -current, it only detects 2 PCI
    buses.  Unfortunatly, my boot device is on one of the non-
    detected buses, making debugging slightly difficult.

    FWIW, I can't get SMP working on this machine either, since
    only two PCI buses are listed in the MP table; and I can't see
    any "set Full MPTable" in Compaq's blasted Ctrl-A config utility.


1. Why does -stable work and not -current?
2. Does new-bus require an MP table (or equivalent) to detect the buses?
