I'm hitting an annoying bug in kernel 2.6.11.5

Every time I _reboot_ (warmstart) my pc my two network cards won't get
recognized any longer.

Following error message appears on my screen:

This doesn't happen with older kernels (especially with 2.6.10) and so
I've done a binary search and narrowed it down to 2.6.11-rc5 where it
first hits me.

My config, lspci output and the dmesg output of the working and non-working
version can be found at [1]

Feel free to ask if any information is missing or if I am supposed to try
a patch.

Thanks for doing the bsearch - it helps.

There were no driver changes between 2.6.11-rc4 and 2.6.11-rc5.

The only PCI change I see is

--- drivers/pci/pci.c   22 Jan 2005 03:20:37 -0000      1.71

and you're not getting that message (are you?)



Reverting the above patch solved it.

A gentoo user also reported this, but according to the bug report, this happens on every bootup (as opposed to only every warm boot)

http://bugs.gentoo.org/87142

I asked him to try reverting the patch shown above and that helped his situation too.

What's next towards getting this fixed for real?
