It looks cool in the old-school unix way, but that's about it. Maybe it's time to change newbus to only print the driver name and driver-supplied description after the probe phase, like you hint at. newbus could then print resource info as the driver activates it, if bootverbose is set. I'd support something like this for 7.0, even if devinfo doesn't get fully fixed. If MSI gets merged to RELENG_6, then we'll just have to live with the incorrect newbus prints. So for example, I would change this: atapci0: <Intel ICH5 SATA150 controller> port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 31.2 on pci0 into: atapci0: <Intel ICH5 SATA150 controller> at device 31.2 on pci0 Calls to bus_activate_resouce/bus_alloc_resource(RF_ACTIVE) could then print the various resources, contingent on bootverbose being set. This would make the ugly [GIANT_LOCKED] and [FAST] messages that get printed right now have a chance of being more consistent. Scott
