Think 2.4.10 broke my PCI subsystem.

Think 2.4.10 broke my PCI subsystem.

[Kevin Carpenter]

I've recently been okaying around with low cost motherboards and have been
problems on two of them:  the BIOSTAT micro-ATX mobo M7VKQ, and the ESC L7SOM
mobos.

BOth work fine so long as I hold the kernel to 2.4.9 or earlier.  Once the
2.4.10 patch is applied, the kernel no longer recognises the PCI Buss.

Under 2.4.9 /proc/pci shows:

After rebuilding with any kernel greater than patch level 9, I get the following

HELP PLEASE!  I don't want to be stuck on 2.4.9 forever!

I have one development box that I can do just about anything you wish to. 
Please let me know how to help.

Thanks,

Kevin C.

What happens on a modern kernel, 2.4.19 or 2.4.20-pre7?

Re: Think 2.4.10 broke my PCI subsystem - resolved.

[Kevin N. Carpenter]

2.4.20-pre7 fixes whatever the problem was.  Kernels between 2.4.10 and 
2.4.19 were broke for these mobo.

Did notice a new message:  Using IRQ router SIS [1039/0008]

Thanks to whomever fixed it!
