I don't even use S10 on any of my systems. All of them have been using S11 sense about build 15 and just about every build too. :-) And now that you and Garrett mentioned 6419924 I remember reading that bug and I do have that problem. --- pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x03 function 0x00: vendor 0x1106 device 0xc238 VIA Technologies, Inc.

This time I put super glue on the post-it note. Shouldn't bug 6419924 be closed as will not fix and have the customers just check for an bios upgrade or bug the vendor? Which reminds me I still have to do. One of those annoying bugs where it works with other OS vendors who work around bios bugs when they shouldn't. ---Bob This message posted from opensolaris.org
