The following seems to indicate that it is pnp_bios that should be turned off. It apparently reads these device addresses from the BIOS. They cannot, however, be ISA adresses as there are no ISA slots on my P4T MB. These addresses must have some other meaning. I tried to turn pnp_bios off by the obvious guesses: nopnpbios and nopnp_bios, but neither seems to work. Only a recompilation without PnP BIOS works.
But there must be a simpler way..... -- Bjarne Thomsen > > PnP: PNP BIOS installation structure at 0xc00fe2d0 > > PnP: PNP BIOS version 1.0, entry at f0000:e2f4, dseg at 40 > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x800-0x880 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x860-0x880 > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x880-0x8c0 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x8c0-0x900 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x600-0x680 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x680-0x700 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x3f0-0x3f2 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x900-0x910 ok > > PnPBIOS: PNP0c01: request 0x910-0x920 ok > > PnP: 14 devices detected total > > ... > > Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M > > floppy0: Floppy io-port 0x03f0 in use > > ... > > > > I verified by doing a 'cat /proc/ioports' : > > > > ... > > 01f0-01f7 : ide0 > > 03c0-03df : vga+ > > 03f0-03f1 : PNP0700 > > 03f6-03f6 : ide0 > > 03f8-03ff : serial(auto) > > 0600-067f : PNP0700 > > 0680-06ff : PNP0700 > > 0800-087f : PNP0700 > > 0880-08bf : PNP0700 > > 08c0-08ff : PNP0700 > > 0900-090f : PNP0700 > > 0910-091f : PNP0700 > > 0cf8-0cff : PCI conf1 > > ... > > > > As you can see, there's lot's of PNP resources being allocated, but > > I don't have any PnP devices.
