I think what you want might be accomplished if the serial driver was compiled as a module. Then have your driver grab all the PCI devices it wants, and they shouldn't be grabbed by the serial driver when it loads. If you can't get your driver to load before the serial driver for whatever reason, unloading the serial driver should give up the devices it had claimed. ..Stu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
