On Fri, 24 Oct 2008, I pointed out the "possibility of a severe flaw in the logic of FreeBSD's kernel handling multiple host bridges and the corresponding assignment of (in principle, correctly detected) devices to their host bridges" :: --> http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/128331 :: --> http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=236 but unfortunately, I did not get any response at all. Two mails to "kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU" asking for any contact e-mail address of a FreeBSD Kernel developer knowing his way around host-bridges and PCI-devices also gave no reaction. I am sorry for this noise (I would have preferred to handle this more quietly), but finally I take hope to the advice of Daniel Gerzo (Thanks @ danger): "If you will not receive any feedback I would recommend you to send an email to current@ and stable@ mailing lists. PR's sometimes get lost in the traffic and not all developers are checking GNATS all the time." Looking forward to a contact Kind regards Manfred
