[LinuxBIOS] badly initialized (?) pci bridge on the M57SLI (with irq table and mptable)

 I resend the lspci dump with the pci vga card in lb/kernel: see lspci_lb.txt
 I resend the lspci dump with the pci vga card and the award bios: see
lspci_award.txt
 One can see that
 - indeed the pci device is not show up in the system when booting with
LinuxBIOS
 - the pci bridge (device 00:06.0) is in "Substractive decode" mode (prog-if 01)
when booting with the proprietary bios and in "Normal decode" (prog-if 00) when
booting with LB.
 Does this impact the scanning of the devices on the "normal" PCI bus (not PCI
express)? (this could explain why my pci vga card is not seen..)
 Can a "PCI guru" on this list help with this issue please?
 Thank in advance!

Best regards,
