Yes, but the problem is that /proc/pci exists even if CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC is not set: [root@manjak /root]# ls -l /proc/pc* -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 27 21:11 /proc/pci
But you can't access the file:
[root@manjak /root]# cat /proc/pci cat: /proc/pci: Bad file descriptor
[root@manjak linux]# grep PCI .config CONFIG_PCI=y CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMIZE=y # CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
IMHO /proc/pci should have been removed if CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC is disabled. I don't know if it is a bug or feature ?!
