As a workaround, you can always specify the order in /etc/modules, which is consulted before discover. The problem evidently is caused by the implementation of /sys support in discover. The first rev of this support simply returned device information in the order of the directories in /sys/bus/pci/devices, which turns out to be exactly the reverse of the order in /proc/bus/pci/devices (which is what discover used before, and still uses on 2.4). Currently, discover rather naively assumes this, and reverses the directory order before turning it into device information. By my testing, this produces an identical order to the old discover. It's not the best, but qsort() on the directory list was producing weird orders; I think I need to write a custom sort compare for this, which I'll do eventually. But this should be sufficient for now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
