Hi Martin,
find attached three files, lspci -vvx for the two kernels (2.2.16 and
2.4.test5 pre1) and the .config file for the 2.4 kernel. I didn't use any pci
boot options for those ones and I included the config for the broken kernel
just in case I missed an option for something.
I'd really like to get this working so I can go back to using 2.4 from day to
day, are there any other tests I can try out?
cheers,
-Simon
