I'm told this is fixed in the latest kernels on www.kernel.org.
Since this is a corporates' box, it was a little surprised to reproduce the
problem in C5.1.
The workaround in Bugzilla is "pci=nomsi,nommconf" and that works on C5
(and Knoppix).
A "me too" from a user of genuine RHEL5 to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441615 wouldn't hurt.
If I read https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248186 correctly
5.2 fixes the problem with mmconfig.
Since the machines I use have Intel chips and CPUs, that doesn't apply.
When I bought the first of these, I particularly wanted hardware
virtualisation, so I went for an E6300 CPU. To be confident with AMD
CPUs I need to know the stepping, and for those DC7700s on offer (I buy
at auction) withh AMD CPUs that information wasn't readily available.
At todays auction, there were some E2140 CPUs (no virtualisation), four
with E6300s (the went for more than I wanted to pay) and one with I
dunno what, the catalogue, packaging and front bezel disagree, and the
auctioneer described it differently again. However, while the catalogue
said one disk, the packaging said two and that's the system I ended up with.
It only had 1 Gbyte RAM so I then went and bought four more; after I've
shuffled then I will find out what the CPU really is.
Thanks for the help, I'm pretty confident this will be fine. At worst,
I'll just have to run Fedora (and not upgrade too often!).
