Richter [mailto:adam@yggdrasil.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 1:08 AM To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: hotplugging with regular PCI cards I saw an interesting demonstration at LinuxWorld last week. Compaq had a machine that did hot plugging with regular PCI cards (not Compact PCI). If anyone out there is familiar with this machine, I would be interested in knowing what the status is on getting the support for that backplain integrated into the stock kernels. When that occurs, that will be yet another reason to treat all new style PCI drivers as potentially hot pluggable, even if those cards are not currently available in a CardBus or CompactPCI form, and in particular to change all of the xxx_pci_tbl declarations in PCI drivers that are currently marked as __initdata back to __devinitdata.
