For an ACPI device you want to use _PRS and _SRS. _PRS will give you a list of candidate resource sets, possibly in groups via DPF tags. You then build a resource and do an _SRS to set it. The problem is that our ACPI bus isn't smart enough to allocate resources for a device when bus_alloc_resource() is called to choose available resources when a device is not configured. This is similar to how you fixed the PCI bus recently to allocate resources for BARs that weren't already allocated by the BIOS. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
