We haven't done that yet. All PnP devices are : > probed together at the end, which isn't quite right. : : The problem was presented as "we are getting two entries for : the devices: one for the PnP BIOS, one for the device.hints". That's a useful high level abstraction of what's happening. However, it isn't completely accurate either. : Whether it's perfect or not, making the device.hints "go away" : in the presents of PnP BIOS on the machine would seem to be : able to address the issue of doubled entries... right? Not entirely. There are ISA devices in devices.hints that aren't plug and play and aren't in the PnP BIOS list. That's a worse problem than the minor printf :-). : Is there something I'm not seeing here from Kazutaka's posting, : or am I being misled? Yes. Yes. :-) What we'd like to happen: PnP BIOS devices device.hints PnP ISA devices What we do now device.hints PnP BIOS devices PnP ISA devices Note, I tried making the simple changes to make this work, but it failed in subtle ways that I didn't have time to trackdown...
