Can you try rebuilding with the i82801db or dbm (whichever yours is) instead of the generic i82801xx? If that works, let me know and I'll see where the difference lies, and try to fix it.
Good luck, Corey
Thanks for your time Corey. As I look at the i82801DB code I don't think anyone ever got it working anyways. I got it to run but it does the same thing. It looks like someone just copied the code from ICH5 and never got it going (WIP maybe?).
Well I have narrowed it down to 2 things, The PCI BRIDGE, or the NIC.
The nic is down from the PCI bridge on bus 1. For some reason what ever do it keeps telling me "Disabling static device: PCI: 01:08.0". Because this is down from the PCI bridge, could this be what is causing the PCI bridge to lock up?
On the PCI Bridge, I tried to disable eveything in Config.lb except the pci 00:0.0 Host bridge and pci 00:1f.0 ISA bridge-LPC. and it boots (attached) (well not really, I just have /etc/hosts as a payload). Then I tried to enable the 00:1e.0 PCI bridge and it locks up again.
Could there be a register setting on the PCI Bridge causing this? Any ideas what it could be? Should I try to compaire it to lspci -xxx??
Thanks - Joe
