It can be. If the chipset isn't supported, the kernel mayn't know to or know how to walk the device tree, or simply know how, to initialize all the buses, bridges, and devices. Alas, I was unable to find any document anywhere that states which chipsets (even just the 20 newest) that a kernel supports when I looked 2-4 years ago. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
