I can't believe how many laptops (never seen desktops that) still need this option, and at least one that I've encountered doesn't address the register initialization problem in its latest available BIOS upgrade. For clues on a good release notes entry, see kern/32169 for a quick synopsis and kern/26920 for a detailed example of exactly what breakage this option works around. Ciao, Sheldon. ----- Original Message ----- Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 10:48:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Thomas Moestl To: cvs-committers@FreeBSD.org, cvs-all@FreeBSD.org Subject: cvs commit: src/sys/conf options src/sys/i386/conf LINT src/sys/pci pci.c > tmm 2002/04/30 10:48:18 PDT > > Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_4) > sys/conf options > sys/i386/conf LINT > sys/pci pci.c > Log: > MFC of sys/i386/conf/NOTES r1.973, sys/conf/options r1.298 and > sys/dev/pci/pci.c r1.182: make PCI_ENABLE_IO_MODES a configuration > option. > > Requested by: orion > > Revision Changes Path > 1.191.2.40 +1 -0 src/sys/conf/options > 1.749.2.112 +2 -0 src/sys/i386/conf/LINT > 1.141.2.15 +1 -0 src/sys/pci/pci.c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
