It also has the possibility of breaking if any devices get registered with overlapping regions. I think there are some powerpc 5200 boards that do this, and I'm not sure about the larger Power boxen. I've got a more nuanced version of this patch that I'm trying to get published today for review. I'll add you to the cc list. g. > -- > 1.7.4.1 > -- Grant Likely, B.Sc, P.Eng.
