I don't know the "whys" for "intel_bug_check" but it's found on my
KT133A chipset as well. However, if you select EPP only (without ECP) in
the bios then the code does detect EPP mode. But that's because "ecr" is
never set so the code is never entered. Since I don't have any EPP
devices to test with I can't tell you EPP is actually working. But I
would be interested in knowing.
