Windows and Linux must break on these boxes too then as they both depend on MP Table and/or _PRT to route interrupts as well. -- John Baldwin <jhb_at_FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.orgReceived on Thu Nov 17 2005 - 20:39:55 UTC
