Greg, is this 2.6.19-rc1 regression anything you've already heard about,
or should Jeff bisect for the commit that broke it?

So it's a PCI problem, not a tg3 issue.
And tg3 is even not the first driver that fails after this...

Adrian, thanks for the lead, so I decided to try different PCI setting.

Setting to "BIOS" make tg3 works again.

Up to 2.6.18, I was using "PCI access mode (Any)" and had no problem,
but from 2.6.19-rc1 onwards, setting to "ANY" doesn't seem to work
anymore.

I've just tested all 2.6.19-rc[123] and all are working with the
"BIOS" setting, but not "ANY".


New setting in .config ...

CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS=y
# CONFIG_PCI_GOANY is not set


Thanks for all your help!

Jeff.
