Sigh, more breakage.
Fun stuff :).
Can you try 2108 from people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5 instead ?
That has it disabled by default.
I tried it but no difference. RHGB didn't work trying it just as-is.
Disabled that and quiet and it hung at trying to find an IP address
again. I also tried giving it the pci=nomsi but it didn't understand
that either. When undoing quite, I did notice some messages about MSI
capability. What exactly is that (if you care to explain)? Hmm, I
found the following messages in dmesg after booting 2096 (I think
these are the same in the other kernels). Don't know if they are
pertinant or not:
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:0b.0 to 64
pcie_portdrv_probe->Dev[005d:10de] has invalid IRQ. Check vendor BIOS
assign_interrupt_mode Found MSI capability
Allocate Port Service[0000:00:0b.0:pcie00]
Allocate Port Service[0000:00:0b.0:pcie03]
This block is repeated with the 'b' in 0000:00:0b.0 being 'c', 'd',
and 'e'. Let me know what else I can do.
