Hm. Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt says:


	pci=option[,option...]	[PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
		earlydump	[X86] dump PCI config space before the kernel
			        changes anything
		off		[X86] don't probe for the PCI bus

What $ARCH are you using?

See arch/x86/pci/common.c::pcibios_setup() for code that handles
	pci=off
