The acpi bus attachment is not being included in the uart driver because you don't build the acpi driver. It's not necessarily a problem if you have the right hints, but it's better to add device acpi to your kernel config file or otherwise use the uart module. The reason sio attaches to acpi is that sio is broken in that respect. While it comes in handy sometimes, it's still a bug. Why do you have PUC_FASTINTR for sio, but not for uart? -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
