On old style ISA bus PCs done a large pointy hat and spend several years reading arcane and forbidden scrolls - 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://vger.kernel.org/lkml/
