Re: [LinuxBIOS] i82801DB PCI Bridge locking up

[Tom Sylla]

Can you check the SERR and PERR status in the bridge before the
enable? (they are in offset 1f of config space)  If you clear them
first, does it help? We have a platform with a different southbridge
where we find that to be the case (clearing the status bits first
makes it not hang)
