The requirement is to provide PCI SLOT information through ACPI _SUN object. Previously we were retrieving the information from IRQ Routing Tables (from PCI BIOS). In some servers the IRQ Routing tables are not supported. So, now we want to retrieve the slot information from ACPI _SUN object. >Try asking these ACPI specific type questions on a ACPI mailing list, >they will be able to help you out better. I will post the query in ACPI mailing list. Thank you:-) >Also, why do you think that your machine will really have those entries? >Does it support PCI Hotplug? If not, I really doubt that they will be >present at all. I will check in hot pluggable machines. Thanks for your info. Thanks, Dhanya -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
