I would like to add an option to revert back to the old behavior of not
using the PnP stuff to probe the ISA bus. My reason for this is that my
soundcard (SB ViBRA16X) and Modem (Diamond SupraExpress 56i) both were
detected and worked fine (the SB with voxware drivers, the modem with the
sio driver) before the switch to the PnP stuff, and the controller being
taken out. My computer won't even boot with the PnP stuff unless I turn
PnP OS to on in bios. I want PnP OS to be off when I boot so that the
soundcard and the Modem will be usable. I can try to make the necessary
changes to the kernel myself by adding an option like 

options PNPOFF 

or something like that and making it revert back to the old behavior
before controller pnp0 was taken out of the kernel, and made the default
behavior. I say I will try because this will be my first time doing such a
thing. If anyone else is having the same problems, let me know, reply to
me directly because the address I have the mailing list mail going to is
temporarily down.
