This is going to make everyone with those boxes who upgrades suddenely get their devices re-ordered and renamed when the probe order changes. That seems extremely inappropriate. Alan
HP maintains that more of our customers, especially new customers, will be adversely affected by NOT implementing this patch for the following reasons. 1. HP issued a Customer Advisory for existing customers to use "pci=bfsort" in the boot command for these systems. Customers using pci=bfsort in their boot scripts will be unaffected by this patch. 2. Customers using only the two embedded NI devices will be unaffected. 3. Because of the use of labels for disk devices, they are unaffected. 4. New customers who must add pci=bfsort to their boot scripts have expressed dissatisfaction. The only time this patch would induce any confusion for an existing customer is upon the convergence of the following situations. 1. The user has not followed the instructions in the release notes for the DL360 and DL380, AND 2. The user has added NI cards to the option slots, AND 3. The user upgrades his kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
