I had no luck...at least not until I told the BIOS to configure it. Then my problems pretty much stopped. It seems a trifle disheartening, though, that there doesn't seem to be any simple ways to config up PnP/PCI devices....not without many many hours of hacking. Some sort of device configuration db would be nice. We could then write a simple interface to config devices to specific settings or to let them get autoconfigged.
..Hmm. Maybe I'm talking through my hat here. Obviously the place for device configuration is the driver...and therefore, equally obviously (I hope) there should be a PnP/PCI config layer underneath that they can use and talk to.
Is there? Am I missing the point?
