The one allowing drivers/scsi/advansys.c to compile with CONFIG_ISA=n:

When CONFIG_ISA is disabled, the isa_driver support will not be compiled
in.  Define stubs so that we don't get link-time errors.

i386. The machine is a Pentium D 940 which would be x86_64 capable,
but I'm still running 32 bit kernels on it.

Will do that anyway.

I hope the attached helps. I created it by taking /var/log/boot.msg
of the two systems, removing everything after "Kernel logging stopped",
editing out the printk timestamps and then running diff -u on them,
so it should be more or less the dmesg diff. I did not edit out any
of the differences because I'm lazy. (And also because I wasn't so sure
what would or wouldn't be interesting for you.)
