It seems to be fixed, but I am unable to find out since when. Maybe since 2012 or even before, based on some glimpses of: > https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/PC/BIOS-new/pcibios.c?rev=42030 ... which then became .../BIOS/pcibios.c ... > https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/42127/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/PC/BIOS/pcibios.c#file0 ... gives the impression that it already was fixed before. Maybe they switched to that "new BIOS" which never had the bug and I cannot see the "old BIOS" in the source browser? As you see in the source, they mention that "find device" is "performance critical" and that they only look at those bus ID which actually exist, for that reason :-) So maybe the wiki about DOS install could be updated ;-) Cheers, Eric PS: I found a 5/2012 "rombios.c" that I have downloaded at that time, which has inline asm but dumber "find pci device", possibly with "our" bug - how do I see the changelog for it? > https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Devices/PC/BIOS/rombios.c?rev=27941 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
