The screenshot shows something odd about the PCI bus configuration in
this computer.  This is probably a BIOS bug but the kernel should
ideally work around such bugs.

Does the current kernel in unstable (linux-image-3.2.0-4-486, version
3.2.35-2) still have this problem?

Does the kernel parameter 'pci=assign-busses' fix the problem?

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
