The problem is a disagreement with the new io_method code and the viapropm chip. From Nicolas Souchu's previous email: : The datasheet states that the command bits are RW but "fixed at 0". A snip of code from sys/dev/pci/pci.c:pci_enable_io_method(): pci_set_command_bit(dev, child, bit); command = PCI_READ_CONFIG(dev, child, PCIR_COMMAND, 2); if (command & bit) return (0); device_printf(child, "failed to enable %s mapping!\n", error); return (ENXIO); Because the viapropm's command register bits will always read as zero, this code will always fail when trying to enable port mapping. Whatever problems viapropm may have, it is the new pci code that prevents it from attaching. It is not the fault of anything in sys/pci/viapm.c. -- David P.
