no thats right because though linux does hardware probing on its own what
assigns the io addresses is the bios ..... so unless bios assigns a irq and
other stuff like that linux cant probe through but its not the other way
ruond ...... if bios detects doesnt mean linux has to detect

If your BIOS doesnt detect it debian wouldnt either
I don't think this is correct. Linux does its hardware probing on its
own and does not rely on the BIOS to tell it what hardware you have.
