The ID that is tested for is the generic ID for the 79c971, not a Hitachi-specific ID, and I didn't realise that.

No. ISA and PCI share an I/O space, but that's about it. I'm sorry; this is breakage in both 2.2.7 and -current, and we're going to need a better way of identifying the problem cases like the Hitachi (or a better workaround). 8( -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
