You're kidding me, right? Well, maybe a little. The L440GX+ board is well-documented with a nice diagram documenting the IRQ swizzle. The SuperMicro board isn't, so I'm probably screwed there. I think it is possible to probe it by putting in a card in one slot at a time and seeing how their BIOS initializes the IRQ register in that card. The GPIOs and ACPI stuff are definitely going to be a problem though - one I hadn't fully considered before. Damn. We really were hoping we'd get some help from a motherboard vendor but that just hasn't been the case. No-one seems interested in the relatively low quantities of boards we'd move. -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
