Bug Description
Currently the Ubuntu kernels ship with CONFIG_
Activate this option if your system contains a Vesa Local
Bus (VLB) card that identify itself as an EISA card (such as
the Adaptec AHA-284x).
When in doubt, say N.
I noticed this actually changes the kernel behavior such that it forces the probing code to probe EISA slots even when it cannot find an EISA compliant mainboard.
This manifests in a collection of warnings on every boot.
[ 0.985127] platform eisa.0: EISA: Cannot allocate resource for mainboard
[ 0.985845] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
[ 0.986526] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 2
[ 0.987213] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 3
[ 0.987899] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 4
[ 0.988586] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 5
[ 0.989273] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 6
[ 0.989961] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 7
[ 0.990646] platform eisa.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 8
I think this config option should be changed to match upstream default for Ubuntu kernels.
