Subject: PCI configuration changes getting lost.
Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2004 20:25:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40F693EE.5D65D02F@verizon.net> (raw)

I'm having trouble with an old Thinkpad 760 ED.

The BIOS puts junk (0xFF) in the INTERRUPT_LINE register of the PCMCIA
configuration registers.  I can put the correct value (0x05) in with
'setpci', but the information is not propagated to the /proc space.
The information is not preserved after an 'init 6'.

(There is at least one other BIOS induced problem with this machine
and PCI configuration registers but it is a bit less serious.  I do 
have the latest BIOS.)

What would be involved in updating the /proc information when 'setpci'
is used to change the configuration?

Does the other pci 'fixer' 'pcitweak' do a better job?

[Don't remove PCI from the subject line.  I'm using it to keep track
of interesting things in this otherwise very noisy mailing list.]
