Actually, I can tell you that it is a known fact that Qlogic ISP PCI cards will not respond to I/O and MEM space when you enable the ROM. And this behavior exists in quite a few other PCI parts as well. So I think the kernel, by not enabling the ROM, is doing the right thing here. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
