>Description:
During autoconfig on a DS5000/133, it fails to match the on-board
lance ethernet chip. This doesn't appear to happen with kernels
that have root on nfs - I've no idea why. The code in ioasic_submatch
seems destined never to match anything, since it's matching against
something that appears to be constant. I don't really understand
what this code is supposed to be doing, though, so perhaps I'm
getting it wrong. In any case, other ioasic drivers don't call
ioasic_submatch, so I just took that out, and everything worked.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a kernel without root on NFS. Boot it. It'll come
up just fine (assuming all else is well) but will not configure
the lance. It does print an error message indicating that the
lance is not configured, though.
