I think you just pointed out the problem of using hints to wire down unit numbers, because hints will stop hinting and will start dictating. If I swap the serial ports in the BIOS then surely my hints will be wrong and ACPI will be right. A default hints file will be even more disastrous than before. -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt_at_mac.comReceived on Thu Oct 11 2007 - 19:59:52 UTC
