Attached is a driver for the NCR Dual 700 Microchannel card. Since the chip

Hi,
Was there any change in the PCI initialization code between versions
2.4.0-test8 and 2.4.2.?

If I turn swap off all together or turn it off and back on
periodically to clear the swap before it gets full, I do not seem to
