Try looking at that function? :) Result is not a kernel structure. Result is a discover structure. Discover has piles and piles of special-case code for PPC; as best as I can tell it was written several major versions of discover ago. When I tried a year and a half or more ago, it was already rotten. The special-case code needs to be taken out and shot. PCI detection should work just as normal. Using Open Firmware for this is a bad idea. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Carnegie Mellon University MontaVista Software Debian GNU/Linux Developer
