From 6d71624abef6738041318c754c291df247abd5d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wilko Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2005 16:47:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Try to avoid crashes during kernel startup by limiting the # of EISA slots to probe. Problems have been reported in this area, lets hope this bandaid helps. !! Owners of EISA-equipped Alpha machines are requested to at least !! boot-test a 6-BETA build and report back to the Alpha list. Thanks!
