As I understood the problem was "fixed" by Fedora (I use FC8 on an ASUS MB) adding to the fc8-patched-kernel configuration the following entry: CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG_OFF_BY_DEFAULT=y so when you try to copy fc8 configuration file to a vanilla kernel .config (I tried a 2.6.23.1 vanilla kernel) this parameter is not recognized: you can make your new kernel, but, if you set ANY in PCI configuration, you'll have the message: PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG. I suppose that if you set DIRECT (as you can see in a previous message on this thread) you can get rid of that bios bug message. Moreover I read that updating the bios had not positive effect but I'm not yet sure of that. Lorenzo |
