I have the same problem with 1.1 on my PVI-486SP3. (Ironically enough, I switched from FreeBSD to NetBSD because FreeBSD used to have this problem but NetBSD 1.0 didn't.) What seems to be happening is that the driver probes devices 16-31 on the PCI bus and these, on this particular motherboard, are `reflections' of 0-15. I don't know how to fix this. I sent a message to port-i386@netbsd.org a while back about this but got no answer. Any PCI hackers out there care to enlighten me about what's going on? cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
