 This is mentioned in LINT/NOTES already:
 
 # By default, only 10 EISA slots are probed, since the slot numbers
 # above clash with the configuration address space of the PCI subsystem,
 # and the EISA probe is not very smart about this.  This is sufficient
 # for most machines, but in particular the HP NetServer LC series comes
 # with an onboard AIC7770 dual-channel SCSI controller on EISA slot #11,
 # thus you need to bump this figure to 12 for them.
 options         EISA_SLOTS=12
 
 Maybe it should be mentioned in the Harware Notes for current releases,
 including the workaround.
