It oopsed here:

static
int pci_msi_supported(struct pci_dev * dev)
{
	struct pci_dev *pdev;

	if (!pci_msi_enable || !dev || dev->no_msi)
		return -1;

	/* find root complex for our device */
	pdev = dev;
	while (pdev->bus && pdev->bus->self)
		pdev = pdev->bus->self;

	/* check its bus flags */
	if (pdev->subordinate->bus_flags & PCI_BUS_FLAGS_NO_MSI)
		return -1;

	return 0;
}

pdev->subordinate is NULL.

Two patch series touch that file.  The generic-irq wire-up and a couple of new
ones in Greg's tree.  I'd be suspecting
gregkh-pci-msi-stop-inheriting-bus-flags-and-check-root-chipset-bus-flags-instead.patch.


To confirm that, could you please test 2.6.17 plus
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/rf.bz2 with the same
.config?  That's everything up to but not including the genirq changes.


You may find that this gets things going again:

Or disable CONFIG_PCI_MSI.
