ÂIf the parent is set to 256, there will be PCI errors generated when trying to do I/O to/from the card. --jordan hargrave Dell Enterprise Linux Engineering I am not hotplugging the pci device. ======================================== If you are not hotplugging, the BIOS should have already setup the correct maxpayload and this code won't do anything. --jordan hargrave Dell Enterprise Linux Engineering ÿô.nÇ·®+%˱é¥wÿº{.nÇ·¥{±þ"þ)íèjg¬±¨¶Ýjÿ¾«þG«é¸¢·¦j:+v¨wèm¶ÿþø®w¥þ࣢·hâÿÙ
