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
