| I have found that the PnP-BIOS is utterly broken in some laptop BIOSs
| (namely the "SystemSoft MobilePRO" BIOS), and causes the computer to
| reset immediately after the kernel has found a pnpbios.
| I have seen this on several different models, all with the "MobilePRO"
| BIOS.
| 
| So I don't think this should be enabled by default.

Please submit open PR ("send-pr").

Including the output of the kernel messages to the serial console
for a kernel built with PNPBIOSVERBOSE and PNPBIOSDEBUG would be
quite helpful, if you can manage it.

If not, please boot the kernel debugger and set a breakpoint
in the pnpbios code and keep continuing-through it until you
determine the device which fails. If you need more fine-grained
instructions on how to do this, please say-so.

Thank you.
