A real solution would be nice. And if the real solution can ONLY be in 2.5, then is it such a bad idea moving the bus number type to unsigned int for 2.4.x? > For now, I am rather sure your systems for testing have < 256 physical > PCI busses and you can for 2.4.x use the remapping scheme sparc64 uses. Wellll, remember that post about more than 256 PCI buses? I meant it. Regards, Tom -- Tom Gall - PPC64 Maintainer "Where's the ka-boom?
