| |
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
