Do you want the one ACPI version that in only supported on a few ia64 systems? Do you want the PCI-SIG version that's supported by no one? Or do you want the Compaq version that isn't documented except in Linux driver sources? What about the Dell version? Or IBM? Also, do you want storage and network devices to behave correctly when they are hot-pulled? The work here is far from trivial, but I'd happily accept volunteers that want to start on it =-) Scott
