Excuse me,

pcihpacpi is an old module that *cannot* do real PCI hotplug and
isn't included in 2.4.18 ia64 patch (it's included after 2.4.19-pre2).
So don't bother David:)

Recently I posted to a new version of ACPI PCI hotplug to the PCI
hotplug maintainer, and it works for some PCI hot-pluggable platforms,
but you may need some extra patches.

For those who would like to play with PCI hotplug with ACPI,
I'll post patches necessary for the latest 2.4.18 patch later on
today.

Thanks,
