Hi Joseph,

Can you attach the 3.8.0-32-generic config (the one matching the successful
boot at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/156685076/BootDmesg.txt) to the bug?

The only way I can match up the output:

  EISA: Probing bus 0 at eisa.0
  Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
  Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 2
  Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 4
  Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 5
  EISA: Detected 0 cards.

with the code is if we have root->force_probe set, and the only way I see for
that to happen is if we're in the virtual_eisa_root_init() path and
CONFIG_EISA_VLB_PRIMING=y:

  #if defined(CONFIG_ALPHA_JENSEN) || defined(CONFIG_EISA_VLB_PRIMING)
  #define EISA_FORCE_PROBE_DEFAULT 1
  #else
  #define EISA_FORCE_PROBE_DEFAULT 0
  #endif

  static int force_probe = EISA_FORCE_PROBE_DEFAULT;

  virtual_eisa_root_init
    eisa_bus_root.force_probe = force_probe
    eisa_root_register(&eisa_bus_root)
      eisa_probe(root)
        printk("EISA: Probing bus %d at %s")
        if (eisa_request_resources)         
          printk("EISA: Cannot allocate resource for mainboard")    # we don't 
see this
        if (eisa_init_device)               
          eisa_release_resources
          kfree
          if (!root->force_probe)           
            return -ENODEV
            goto force_probe
        printk("EISA: Mainboard %s detected")       # we don't see this

        force_probe:
        for (i = 1; ...; i++)
          if (eisa_request_resources(i))
            printk("Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot %d", i)
        printk("EISA: Detected %d cards")
