[ltp] Missing /pro/bus/pnp on Caldera 3.1.1

[Jean-Philippe]

Hi,

I discovered the PnP BIOS support does not work in recent kernels. After 
research on my machine, I noticed that compiling the 2.4.13 kernel on my 380Z 
with PNP Bios enabled, then compiling and installing pcmcia_cs 3.1.33 with 
PNP support leads me to a working /proc/bus/pnp and I can list / set PNP 
ressources.

Doing the same thing with kernel 2.4.18, 2.4.19-pre5 leads me to symptoms 
listed in my original post.

So for now I use the stock Caldera 2.4.13 kernel and pcmcia-cs 3.1.33, and I 
have lspnp and setpnp working.

At last...

It just ended being a small victory: the sound card of my 380Z still refuses 
the CS4232 module. Even after passing all configuration parameters through 
setpnp, then loading the modules with the exact same parameters. Even trying 
to disable PCIBUSPOWER through PS2 utility. Tried so many sound modules 
declaration load in modules.conf (all I could encounter through Google).

Anyway, I had fun learning Linux... Thanks for the tips,

JP
