Hello,

Regarding my problems with the device manager,
could you elaborate on the B_FIND_CHILD_ON_DEMAND and B_FIND_MULTIPLE_CHILDREN 
? I don't quite get what they are supposed to do....
I now seem to have figured out _why_ removing the ON_DEMAND flag from the nodes published by acpi will fix the trouble I saw. To be precise, the problem is in device_node::Probe(). If ON_DEMAND is not set for a node, it will not only call _Probe() on the node itself, but also its children. When ON_DEMAND is set, it only calls _Probe() on itself.
Does anyone know if this is on purpose? For now, I'll switch off ON_DEMAND for the ACPI nodes, but I'd like to understand why this difference is here... 

Ithamar.
