PCI card bios accessibility

[Tina Declerck]

Hello,

I am new to this list so I apologize if this question has already been
answered.  I didn't see it
in the archives.

- Does the Linux BIOS do discovery on PCI slots for the existance of cards?

- Will it use PCI configuration space to locate the Basic Address Register
(BAR) to locate bios
   on a PCI card and load it?  Specifically, this is regarding a 3ware RAID
card.

Thank you,

Tina
