** Kernel parameters :
eisa_bus.enable_dev :
A comma-separated list of slots to be enabled, even if the firmware
set the card as disabled. The driver must be able to properly
initialize the device in such conditions.

A comma-separated list of slots to be enabled, even if the firmware
set the card as enabled. The driver won't be called to handle this
device.
virtual_root.force_probe :
Force the probing code to probe EISA slots even when it cannot find an
EISA compliant mainboard (nothing appears on slot 0). Defaultd to 0
(don't force), and set to 1 (force probing) when either

For example, switching your favorite EISA SCSI card to the "hotplug"
model is "the right thing"(tm).
** Thanks :
I'd like to thank the following people for their help :
- Xavier Benigni for lending me a wonderful Alpha Jensen,
- James Bottomley, Jeff Garzik for getting this stuff into the kernel,
- Andries Brouwer for contributing numerous EISA ids,
- Catrin Jones for coping with
too many machines at home
