thanks, applied.

yeah, that seems to be the case:
in drivers/pnp/pnpbios/Kconfig:
config PNPBIOS ... depends on ISA && X86 && EXPERIMENTAL
in arch/x86/Kconfig:
if X86_32 config ISA
it seems the PNPBIOS has not infested the 64-bit world, so we wont ever see this with a 64-bit kernel:
extern u32 pnp_bios_is_utter_crap; pnp_bios_is_utter_crap = 1; printk(KERN_CRIT "PNPBIOS fault.. attempting recovery.\n");
