It's possible, because I'm positive this laptop isn't about to suddenly sprout
an EISA bus that needs supporting. (That, and it's fun to watch a kernel build
blow up because I have an oddball .config for the build :)
Convincing a distro to remove it is a different question. And I'm sure they
won't be interested in doing so unless you can prove "can't meet minimum
requirements and have EISA". Can you name-and-shame some distros, and
point at a minimum requirement that can't be met by a box that has EISA?
