After I migrated VIA vt5426 to new mainboard(PCChips M787CL,not M787CL+: NB is VT8601,SB is VT82C686B),when probing PCI devices,the kernel halted.So is there any option in LinuxBIOS need to be configed to avoid the kernel halt? But the kernel can work well on PCChips M/B bios.
This is an old bug with the chipset. I think we may still have a patch for it. If linux scans any devfn above (I think) 0x40, the chipset locks up.
Sorry.
