If the device does not show-up for lspci then it is probably not a driver issue. I would suspect a changed BIOS setting but you didn't mention the BIOS in between your various kernels so that seems unlikely. The only thing that leaves that I can conjur at the moment is an ACPI problem -- probably bad ACPI code in your BIOS but possibly a bug in the Linux ACPI interpreter. If you boot with "acpi=off" on the kernel command line, does the device either always show-up or never show-up between the various kernels? John -- John W.
