Hi Everyone, I've purchased a new Gateway E5400 and forgot to check the chipsets used. Well, they've switched to newer Intel chipsets for the PCI components and are all based on the 82801AA controller (for the bridge, ide, etc.). At first the system would hang on the PCI probe, but looking into boot options, I tried the "pci=conf2" option and the system booted and I installed 7.1 AOK. However, looking at the boot messages after the install, linux reported that no PCI bus was found. All other components are fine (UDMA disks, AGP, etc.), but none of the PCI slots are seen. As an additional gotcha, I successfully installed on a system that uses the 82801AB controller; the PCI bus was probed and all cards located. Anyone run into this? Or has anyone dived into the kernel source for the PCI recognition? -Bill _____________________________________ William Danforth, U.S. Geological Survey 384 Woods Hole Rd, Woods Hole, MA 02543 voice: (508) 457-2274 fax: (508) 457-2310 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________
