MPTable

 looking for EBDA pointer @ 0x040e, found, searching EBDA @ 0x0009f000
 searching CMOS 'top of mem' @ 0x0009ec00 (635K)
 searching default 'top of mem' @ 0x0009fc00 (639K)
 searching BIOS @ 0x000f0000
 searching extended BIOS @ 0x000e0000
 groping memory @ 0x00080000
 groping memory @ 0x00090000

 MP FPS NOT found,
 suggest trying -grope option!!!

I agree. I have been trying to figure htis out, but i can't find any way to see
what int is assigned to it until there's a driver attached to the card...

right. I noticed something similar - i have Serial ports disabled in BIOS, but
stil see si0 coming up on dmesg. Will try removing from kernel.
