I've started a small adventure of installing Linux on an old laptop. It appears as if some chipset is buggy (82437MX), as it's listed in the pci/quirks.c file with a fix.
Reading that quirks file, I see that a kernel message should have been generated, but it wasn't. So I wanted to see if that part (module or compiled-in) was in the game at all.
I looked for some non-static function in quirks.c, and found pci_fixup_devices. So off I went to the laptop which runs this kernel and did:
grep fixup /proc/ksyms
and got nothing.
Is there any chance that the function was executed, and the freed, or is this a 100% indication that I should try to change my kernel configuration, and recompile?
I'm running a 2.4.21 kernel, BTW.
Thanks in advance, Eli
