Can a DOM0 with no AGP run a DOMU with AGP or are there system dependencies? > Are there PRs, and can we deal with this by quirks to not attach AGP > when it's going to do something bad? There's 50446 which has the suggestion to just comment out AGP. I wonder if we should just remove the line altogether. If someone ever gets around to fixing the issue they can put it back. In the meantime why tempt people to un-comment it? If there is general agreement I will make the change and also update the PR so that the fixer knows to add the line back. -- D'Arcy J.M.
