Hello,


HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI

devices in the expected order.


(John, can you please confirm and ACK this?)

As a shameless plug, biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help

solve this so we don't need to patch the kernel for future systems.

It's not integrated into any distributions properly yet, but is

included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8 for people who want to download

and install it there.  It acts as a udev helper.


For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary.  I really hope

biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

Thanks,
