Description Matt Domsch 2000-06-27 19:14:43 UTC
It would be helpful if the loader would load device drivers based on 
device lines in the kickstart file before performing a PCI probe and 
loading drivers.  This would give us the opportunity to load disk and 
network drivers in kickstart first, guaranteeing the disk and network 
device discovery order.  Currently, device lines in the kickstart file are 
loaded after PCI probing.

This is very hard to fix properly, and as Dell can live without it we're not
going to :-(
