At least on x86-64 there are no ICH4s or PIIX4Es. Actually I think there was one early prototype machine from Intel with ICH4, but I am willing to ignore these. So please dont do any such things on the x86-64 version. Also didnt ICH4 already have HPET? it might not be enabled on many boxes, but given the chip datasheet one can write enable code to fix that. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
