At the moment you have to enable PCI because that is the way the config
script is organised.  I don't know if zalon support would build without
PCI because it uses the ncr53c8xx driver which normally drives only PCI
chips.  It is an area that needs attention anyway, because if you enable
sym53c8xx_2 you wont get the zalon option at all (which is obviously
wrong).

Hi,
why I need to enable PCI/EISA to make available option zalon driver in 
SCSI drivers?
My HP K210 don't have PCIs and EISA?!!?!?!?

No, you don't have PCI or EISA, but you do need the PCI code for the
time being. Although the Zalon board has a 720, it is driven by
the 8xx code. The 53c8xx driver has been modified to handle the 720
(which is a lot closer to the 8xx chips in terms of scrip capabilities
than its poor 700 and 710 relations).

T think that my HP K210 don't have any PCIs or EISAs...
dmesg don't show me that I have any PCIs or EISAs...
and I have ncr53c720 not 8xx

It is very confusing thing, for this reason I compiled kernel 10 times, 
to understand that I have to enable PCI...

Something else is that even if you don't have PCI slots, some of the cards
you have may contain a GSC<->PCI adapter and a PCI device.  The 100Mbit
& Gigabit lan cards are definitely like this and there may be others.

It probably is possible to compile the zalon driver without having PCI
enabled but it'll take a small amount of work to verify.

Right. It's confusing. Please send a patch that either corrects
the problem or gives a useful error. I don't expect it to be that
hard to do but it does take time. I'm more interested in working
on SMP-Interrupt issues (per-CPU statistics and IRQ regions,
Interrupt distribution).

thanks,

You don't need to any more.
