[LinuxBIOS] PCI information changed when linuxbios is used - coreboot

4 Oct 2005


      Dear all,
I made an Iwill/DK8S2 machine run on LinuxBIOS. But I
noticed that pci information shown by lspci changed a
lot. Is this normal?
Here i post the pci information before and after
linuxbios is used.
when factory-build bios is used, the results of lspci
are:

...
From the above, IDE interface, ethernet intefrace and
usb interface belongs to different buses before and
after using linuxbios. This is surprising. Could
someone provide some advices?
Thanks.
