The BIOS probe order is different from machine to machine or even from BIOS
release to BIOS release. The new PCI subsystem now always sorts the devices by
bus/device/function lexicographically, so you get the same order not depending
on whether you use the BIOS or not. The latest PCI patch I've sent to the list
adds an option to reverse the order to be compatible with 2.0.X.
Have a nice fortnight
