Leaving it closed means that FreeBSD 4.x will not work at all on a large number of mainboards based on SiS chipset, and FreeBSD team is not going to fix this. These mainboards support CPUs > 1 GHz (so they are not trash yet), and are sold all over the world. If Søren says, that hardwiring PCI-ID can break something, than, at least, some option like SIS5591_HACK in kernel config must be present, which enables this hack. P.S. I have 3 boxes with this controller onboard, running 4-STABLE with uptime > 90 days. I use patch from originator, which hardwires PCI-ID. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. GLEBIUS-RIPN GLEB-RIPE
