The rest is just semantics. Do you really want to say, it has been done quite intentionally? If so - it's not good idea to entirely remove the well-tested code, which was allowing to use more hardware without a need to disable some useful features. But if it really is the case - I can't understand Nate's "join the team" encouragement. There's nothing to fix, if "nothing's broken". > and so the breakage in your ACPI is more obvious.

Yes, currently I had to. -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski
