David, please read his dmesg: pcibios: BIOS version 2.10 Do you know where that comes from? /sys/i386/pci/pci_cfgreg.c: int pci_cfgregopen(void) { ... v = pcibios_get_version(); if (v > 0) printf("pcibios: BIOS version %x.%02x\n", (v & 0xff00) >> 8, v & 0xff); ... } I'm not stupid, ok? The version of the PCI BIOS spec that his BIOS implements has no relation to the vendor firmware revision of his BIOS beyond perhaps mere coincidence. FreeBSD has no code in it to go figure out his firmware revision and print it to the bloody screen claiming that it has something to do with PCI. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/Received on Wed Aug 20 2003 - 08:24:43 UTC
