Thanks Matt, you're probably right about SMBIOS on 2950's.. ours has a very out of date bios (1.2.0, latest is 2.6.1) which is probably why it doesn't work without the fallback method, but we have several r200's in the field with multiple nics so I am pleased you've put this back in. On holiday at the moment but in the new year I will add biosdevname support to Gentoo. :) Andy > > Grab it here: > http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.3.tar.gz > http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname/permalink/biosdevname-0.3.3.tar.gz.sign > git://linux.dell.com/biosdevname.git > > I built this today for Fedora rawhide (will be 15), and I encourage > other distributions to pick it up as well. > > shortlog: > > Matt Domsch (5): > add back in PCI IRQ Routing Table lookups, as a fallback > add in the pirq.[ch] files too > sort PCI device list, set embedded_index better, use PIRQ info > as a last resort > remove Dell-specific code from make_release.sh > bump version > > > Thanks, > Matt > > -- > Matt Domsch > Technology Strategist > Dell | Office of the CTO > > ----- End forwarded message ----- > > -- > Matt Domsch > Technology Strategist > Dell | Office of the CTO > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-PowerEdge mailing list > Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com > https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge > Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq > _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
