After removing the chkslot() call, I get these errors when booting: [...] SCSI subsystem initialized MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00008000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00010000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00020000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) MACEPCI: Master abort at 0x00000000 (C) PCI: Bridge: 0000:00:03.0 IO window: 1000-1fff MEM window: 80000000-800fffff PREFETCH window: 80100000-801fffff PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:03.0 (0000 -> 0003) [...] It seems all probes to devfn=0 fails. There is even a call on bus=2, that I really don't understand. the current lspci output is: 00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U 00:02.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U 00:03.0 PCI bridge: NetMos Technology Unknown device 9250 (rev 01) 01:08.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 01:08.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) 01:08.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04) 01:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Agere Systems FW323 (rev 61) 01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
