ALTERING OR ADDING THESE DRIVER PARAMETERS
INCORRECTLY CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE.
USE THEM WITH CAUTION.

'command' is one or more of the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Option: verbose
Definition: enable additional informative messages during
driver operation.
Possible Values: This option is a flag
Default Value: disabled

Option: debug:[value]
Definition: Enables various levels of debugging information
Possible Values: 0x0000 = no debugging, 0xffff = full debugging
Default Value: 0x0000

:Definition: Do not probe for EISA/VLB controllers.
This is a toggle. If the driver is compiled
to not probe EISA/VLB controllers by default,
specifying "no_probe" will enable this probing.
If the driver is compiled to probe EISA/VLB
controllers by default, specifying "no_probe"
will disable this probing.
Possible Values: This option is a toggle
Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default.

:Possible Values: This option is a toggle
:Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default.
pci_parity
:Definition: Toggles the detection of PCI parity errors.
On many motherboards with VIA chipsets,
PCI parity is not generated correctly on the
PCI bus. It is impossible for the hardware to
differentiate between these "spurious" parity
errors and real parity errors. The symptom of
this problem is a stream of the message:
