Hello Florentin,

some times ago you figured out how to get some PCI ports on the Gigabyte M57SLI 
board initialized. One Port worked with your patch as it should and gets 
interrupts, but the other one doesn't. Also there are until now some problems 
existing with the PCI-E ports.

As time passed by there is until now no solution for the second PCI port and 
for the PCI-E interrupt problems.
After finishing my school, and finding some good job i've more time to work with 
things i'm interested, such as coreboot.

For the following i refer on your post from October 2007 on the LinuxBios 
Mailinglist: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-
October/025442.html

My questions to that posting:
*1) Is it necessary/useful to measure somethings on the PCI-bus with an 
oscilloscope?
*4) Do you have the source for that simple custom utility you wrote that time 
to dump the SYSCTRL_REG which you mention in *3)?

I and some other coreboot users are interested in trying to fix that issues 
with coreboot on this mainboard, and i hope you can help us a bit.

Tanks in advance,
kind regards,
Harald Gutmann
