I can't imagine there are too many machines with MMCONFIG and an i830 chipset. The laptop I'm currently typing on is an i830 ... and its BIOS is from 2002, well predating the specification of MMCONFIG. If I didn't know better, I'd accuse Tony of lying about the existance of such a machine ;-) -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
