Hi all, maybe many among you are reading also linux-mips mailing list, maybe not. I presented a problem on that list, and Ralf Baechle replied that *maybe* it is related to a Debian patch.
The problem is explained here: -------------------------------------------------------------- I have a PCI board that is listed but otherwise ignored on my SGI O2. The only trace of the card is in lspci output. There isn't a list of devices in the other side of this PCI-to-PCI chip. # lspci 00:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U 00:02.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7880U 00:03.0 PCI Bridge: Netmos technology Unknown device 9250 (The card vendor and product are IDs 9710:9250.) When I plug the card on an i386 machine, it is recognised since lspci display the card and all three devices present on the same card (devices accessible via the PCI-to-PCI bridge). All these devices are available to udev, so udev start all relevant drivers. -------------------------------------------------------------- Ralf reply: >I wonder if somebody hacked that kernel to just scan the PCI bus. That >means it would trust whatever the ARCS firmware has setup and ARCS is >definately broken, doesn't know how to handle PCI-to-PCI bridges and >will just skip over them. Exactly what you observe. I browsed the patches in the Debian kernel package, but I couldn't find any about this specific problem. Is anyone aware of such a patch? Is anyone able to use a PCI card with any PCI-to-PCI bridge on an IP32 machine? Thanks, Giuseppe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
