The draw back would be slow down the boot loader. For now, let me implement the PHY for DTS and no PHY for ACPI. From previous emails, it was discussed that PHY driver is required for DTS. For ACPI, it is the responsible of the firmware. -Loc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
