Yes, this is a problem with the with the machine dependent portion of the

Hmm, all of that is fine... I'll work on the printing portion a bit.
Now back to the kernel. If the match routine returns false when you run
it in the kernel (as it should if you have no PnP) then you should be ok.
Isn't that true?
