It appears that it was turned on in my 2.2.18 kernel
and it worked fine; but when I updated with oldconfig
it brought the old settings across. I assumed that
because the feature worked in the old kernel on that
MoBo, it was okay and the board didn't have the listed
chip sets anyway.
When at wits end, I disabled it anyway, just because
it said "buggy BIOS".
That solved the problem. So I'm sorted.
Does anyone keep track of what MoBo/chipset and
kernel major version combinations have finicky
config requirements? I'd be happy to supply whatever
info you need.
