[Hui Wang (hui.wang)]

This message is harmless. Maybe we could set CONFIG_EISA_VIRTUAL_ROOT to N in the kernel config to remove this annoying message.

Does someone know if other distribution like redhat or suse closed this Kconfig option?

[Gioele Barabucci (gioele)]

This is still an issue on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS + HWE 5.11.0-27-generic.

[Gioele Barabucci (gioele)]

For reference: the kernel in RHEL8.4 does not have any of the `CONFIG_EISA_*` options; Fedora 36 does not set them (https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/blob/os-build/redhat/configs/ark/generic/CONFIG_EISA).

In general `CONFIG_HAVE_EISA`/`CONFIG_EISA` and all related options should be set to No. There is no chance that somebody with a EISA motherbord (replaced by PCI in 1995) is running Ubuntu on that machine.

See: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/EISA.html

I tried to avoid this by adding to my kernel parameters:

eisa_bus.disable_dev=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

But somehow that did not stop the eisa driver from allocating resources for the slot.

EISA needs to be a module, instead of hard-baked into the kernel!

[thedoctar (thedoctar)]

The CONFIG_EISA and related flags only affect compilation. They will not affect an already compiled kernel. @Bram: how did you apply the kernel parameters? I tried using the bootconfig tool, compiling it from the ubuntu-kernel source, but they do not seem to loaded when I try cat /proc/bootconfig.

[Bram Stolk (b-stolk)]

@thedoctar Add it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub file.
