[LinuxBIOS] PCI information changed when linuxbios is used
by Frank Samuel 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Dear all, I made an Iwill/DK8S2 machine run on LinuxBIOS. But I noticed that pci information shown by lspci changed a lot. Is this normal? Here i post the pci information before and after linuxbios is used. when factory-build bios is used, the results of lspci are: 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 0000:00:01.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X APIC (rev 01) 0000:00:02.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 0000:00:02.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X APIC (rev 01) 0000:00:06.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 PCI (rev 07) 0000:00:07.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 LPC (rev 05) 0000:00:07.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE (rev 03) 0000:00:07.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05) 0000:00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:01:00.0 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 0000:01:00.1 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 0000:01:06.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 0000:03:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0000:03:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller When linuxbios is used, the results are: 0000:00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:00:19.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 NorthBridge 0000:01:01.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 0000:01:01.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X APIC (rev 01) 0000:01:02.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12) 0000:01:02.1 PIC: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X APIC (rev 01) 0000:01:03.0 PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 PCI (rev 07) 0000:01:04.0 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 LPC (rev 05) 0000:01:04.1 IDE interface: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 IDE (rev 03) 0000:01:04.2 SMBus: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 (rev 02) 0000:01:04.3 Bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 ACPI (rev 05) 0000:02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0000:02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0000:04:00.0 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 0000:04:00.1 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8111 USB (rev 0b) 0000:04:00.2 USB Controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]: Unknown device 7463 (rev 02) 0000:04:06.0 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) >From the above, IDE interface, ethernet intefrace and usb interface belongs to different buses before and after using linuxbios.

RE: [LinuxBIOS] PCI information changed when linuxbios is used
by Lu, Yinghai 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

It's more logically right to put SB HT chain in bus1. because it is under HT host bridge. (0:0x18.0). Anyway it is doable to put SB chain on bus 0 in LinuxBIOS, you may need to modify amdk8_scan_bridge, 1. process SB link at first. 2. not use max instead of ++max for sb link. Also AMI 8111 start from 0:6.0 and 8131 from 0:a.0 And PH 8111 start from 0:6.0 and 8131 drom 0:1.0 YH -----Original Message----- From: linuxbios-bounces(a)openbios.org [mailto:linuxbios-bounces@openbios.org] On Behalf Of Frank Samuel Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 8:35 AM To: LinuxBIOS(a)openbios.org Subject: [LinuxBIOS] PCI information changed when linuxbios is used Dear all, I made an Iwill/DK8S2 machine run on LinuxBIOS.
