SubjectStrange PCI problem
Hello everyone,
Here's something I just noticed: Award BIOS has a bug that won't let it
detect non-chipset PCI bridges. I've got 2 machines here that I'm trying
to write a driver for a PCI device that reports itself as a bridge (OTHER
(0x80) type). What I'm confused on is that even though the chipset
doesn't pick it up, NT, 95, and Solaris x86 identify it on boot of the
kernel. Is there something that can be done about this? It seems to be a
major probles, as Award has something over 80% of the BIOS market and
their attitued is a cross between "yeah, we know about it" and "windows
finds it anyways, what's your problem".

Thanks
Pat

Under Texas Penal Code Title 7, Chapter 33 it is a class A misdemeanor to
send me unsolicited e-mail. I will prosecute.
