How so? When I added the capability to read the extended capcities, I didn't protect them against use on older BIOSes. Some of these BIOSes die a horrible death when called with functions they do not know. Hmmm. Looking at the code, it appears that the bug is still present in -current. One of the PAO developers sent me a patch which I could have sworn I applied and committed, but sadly I didn't. Hmmm. Let's look in my inbox... It appears that Mr. Mitsuru Iwasaki-san sent the patch to me and mobile on or about on Feb 15 (around the time of my Libretto Problems, so maybe that's why it didn't make it into the tree). I'll look at integrating it into the tree... Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
