From Intel Doc #30234903: The ICH6 AC '97 controller is fully compatibility with the features found in the ICH1/2/3/4/5 versions. This allows for current drivers developed by ISVs and IHVs to work without modifications (see Section 1.1.3.4.) The ICH6 however, provides new capabilities not found in some of earlier ICH family of components. So I'll bet that if you taught the driver about the PCI IDs, it would probe successfully as an ICH4, which I know is supported. Not having an ICH6 I can't test it here, but the change should be relatively trivial. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
