Hi,

I have been trying to get my ar(4) and sr(4) drivers going again on -current,
but it seems that the newbus code doesn't like my little trick that worked
for so long. :-(

Basically the drivers are called ar0 in the kernel config file, but in
the isa_driver struct I call them arc and not ar, because the chip that
is used actually have 2 ports and I register them seperately as ar0 and
ar1 during the attach phase.

From what I can see now, it looks like the newbus code doesn't even
call the arprobe routine. I have even added a printf right in the start
of it, but it never prints anything. Just as a test I changed my kernel
config file and files.i386 from ar to arc and then it works.

So what should I do? Can the newbus code be fixed to work in this case
too or should I newbusify the drivers and will that help? Won't that
create a clash because of the isa compatabilty shim?

John
