+ ide-generic.probe-mask= [HW] (E)IDE subsystem
+ Format: <int>
+ Probe mask for legacy ISA IDE ports. Depending on

+ setting corresponding bits in the mask to 1. The
+ default value is 0x0, which has a special meaning.
+ On systems that have PCI, it triggers scanning the
+ PCI bus for the first and the second port, which
+ are then probed. On systems without PCI the value
+ of 0x0 enables probing the two first ports as if it
+ was 0x3.
