[hsflinux] driver 8086 2486 (fwd)

[Eric GRIMMER]

I tried.
MDK 's 2.4.18-6mdk kernel won't take the patch...
I downloaded a generic 2.4.18, patched it and it works ! I still have to do
the  pdev->irq=9 thing though. But it works.
For those who use a SonyVAIO gr214mp, generic 2.4.18 won't recognize the
e100 network chipset whereas  MDK 's 2.4.18-6mdk kernel does.
Solution : make one kernel out of the 2 and you'll get all (apart from MDK's
supermount).

Thanx

Get the latest HSF driver, don't modify LinuxGetHwPciRes()
but rebuild your kernel with the latest ACPI patch from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi/ and if it still
doesn't work, try applying the new pci-irq code patch
from http://www.brodo.de/english/pub/acpi/pci_irq/index.html
