: : Log:
: : Change EISA probing to be less invasive. Instead of probing all slots
: : unconditionally, stop after the first one (system board) if no EISA hardware
: : is detected. This fixes a boot hang (i.e. Thinkpad) when ACPI is disabled.
: : Also, split the probe code into a separate function and do some style cleanup.
: :
: : Note that the Adaptec 2842 VLB controller probe is broken by this change
: : and will fail to probe. It should be fixed separately.
:
: This change, btw, was reviewed by gibbs and imp prior to the
: commit... The 2842 VLB controller is about 13 years old. There will
: likely be a fix for it soon from the ahc maintainer. However, even if
: there isn't, the belief is that modern laptop owners with the eisa
: hang problem is >> the 2842 controller. I believe the re@ signed off
^number of users with a
: on this as well.
