linux-3.1-0-rc4 bus error ... MPS configured higher than maximumsupported by the device. If a bus issue occurs, try running with pci=pcie_bus_safe.

[Jeff Chua]

Got the following error after upgrading from linux-2.6.36 to
linux-3.1.0-rc4 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 that has a PCIe fax card, and
the system LED panel shows "Bus Fatal Error".


Is is normal or should I try out "pci=pcie_bus_safe" or "pci=pci" as
suggested in the dmesg?

There was another error that also showed up on 2.6.36 but I'm ignoring
that for now ( ... disabling ASPM on pre-1.1 PCIe device.  You can
enable it with 'pcie_aspm=force')

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 0.
Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
