-	pci=		[PCI]
+	pci=option[,option...]		[PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
+		off			[IA-32] don't probe for the PCI bus
+		bios			[IA-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
+					the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
+					has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
+		nobios			[IA-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
+					hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
+					if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
+					suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
+		conf1			[IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration Mechanism 1.
+		conf2			[IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration Mechanism 2.
+		nosort			[IA-32] Don't sort PCI devices according to
+					order given by the PCI BIOS. This sorting is done
+					to get a device order compatible with older kernels.
+		biosirq			[IA-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
+					routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
+					on several machines and they hang the machine when used,
+					but on other computers it's the only way to get the
+					interrupt routing table. Try this option if the kernel
+					is unable to allocate IRQs or discover secondary PCI
+					buses on your motherboard.
+		rom			[IA-32] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
+					Use with caution as certain devices share address
+					decoders between ROMs and other resources.
+		irqmask=0xMMMM		[IA-32] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be assigned
+					automatically to PCI devices. You can make the kernel
+					exclude IRQs of your ISA cards this way.
+		lastbus=N		[IA-32] Scan all buses till bus #N. Can be useful
+					if the kernel is unable to find your secondary buses
+					and you want to tell it explicitly which ones they are.
