Yes, 6.x does not work this way. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

As I learned in the meanwhile, yes. But it was quite
interesting to learn how things work when you have
never been into FreeBSD driver hacking before ;-).

Would this work in 6.x as well? You wrote in another mail that
in 7.0 agp attaches to hostb. This makes me think that in 6.x
things are handled differently.
If not, I will stick to my detaching while I am on 6.x
(don't need agp on my 440BXs) and do it right when
I have migrated to 7.x...

In the case of hostb, this is wrong however. You want to attach as a child of
hostb as other devices (e.g. agp(4)) need to attach to host-pci bridges as
well.

Found the answer myself but will post it here in case anyone
got a similar problem one day: I added the device detach method
for the hostb driver to sys/i386/pci/pci_bus.c:

Now, when kldload'ing my driver, it can walk through all devices
and detach hostb using device_detach().

How to "detach" a foreign driver from a device so my driver can attach?
Hello all, I am writing a driver which attaches to the Host-PCI bridge. When compiled into the kernel or loaded by the loader everything works and the driver gets attached. This is due to the fact that I return BUS_PROBE_SPECIFIC in my probe routine which gains over the -1 returned by pci_hostb_probe() in i386/pci/pci_bus.c. However, when I want to load my driver via kldload this fails since the hostb device has already been attached during kernel load (when my driver was not present): hos...@pci0:0:0:class=0x06 card=0x11d510cf chip=0x35808086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 What can I do to make my driver load via kldload? Is there a way to detach the hostb0 from the Host-PCI bridge? I have been digging around in the sources but didn't find something similar. In case of any hints, please CC me since I am currently travelling and can't easily read the lists at home...
