I didn't do that conversion because I don't have ISA hardware and I don't understand ISA probing. The present patch set doesn't seek to resurrect the ISA drivers. But I am trying to avoid regressions. I have mixed feelings about the ISA drivers. ISA DMA support complicates things (it was never completed) and DMA seems to be the main obstacle to merging the two core driver forks. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
