If Vista is absolutely known to *always* use the 64-bit addresses under every single circumstance where they're present, then yes, I agree that this is probably the least bad situation. This is trivial to test - install Vista on an R40e and see if it hangs on boot. If it does, I withdraw my objection. If not, then we're not fixing it properly. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
