Untrue for all but the very earliest EDD. True for our kernel support which wants improving some day > in which case the EDD code will capture those; you can then correlate > them to real disks. EDD 1 provides the I/O base of each BIOS device so you can cross corelate at least each IDE device with the BIOS identifier. EDD 3 provides paths in multiple forms including PCI identifiers which serve the same purpose. Unfortunately our EDD boot code doesn't capture the right bits in all these cases. -- 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/
