Subject: ppbus drivers failing to probe vpo: problem solved (sort of)
Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG

The vpo (ZIP drive) probe failure I reported earlier turns out to be some sort
of Heisenbug.  When I add debugging code to the vpo_detect() function in
/sys/dev/ppbus/vpo.c (as shown below), my ZIP drive magically starts working.
 
Comments?  Suggestions?
