LinuxBIOS and ISA slot on PCChips M787CL M/B

Hello ron,

I am migrating LinuxBIOS from vt5426 to PCChips M787CL(
NB: VT8601 ,SB: VT82C686B),and I want to use ISA slot.I
think that LinuxBIOS doesn't need to initialize ISA slot,
the devices on ISA bus should work,but I am wrong.So
does LinuxBIOS need to  initialize the ISA slot?

Any advice is appreciated!
