Hello, This might be related to these earlier reports on the LKML http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0607.0/1409.html http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0901.1/00438.html On a Thinkpad Dock II, there is a PCI video card system which is not visible on my Linux system. (I have tested the card on an old desktop and it is detected.) I am attaching the output of dmesg, lspci -vvv and acpidump. Notice that in the second of these I can see the docking station itself; like in the second problem report quoted above, the card itself doesn't show up in lspci, though. Thanks for any time you can devote to this, lara
Forgot to mention: based on information online, I have tried booting with acpi=off, pci=assign-busses, pci=routeirq, pci=noacpi and pci=nobios to no avail.
Created attachment 25340 [details] dmesg with pci=assign-busses
Created attachment 25341 [details] lspci -vvv with pci=assign-busses
Created attachment 25459 [details] output of acpidump
[[Ugh, I fat-fingered the [Bug 15436] in the subject, so the last one went to the wrong bugzilla.]] [Updating this thread with the bugzilla pointer and my current theory] http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15436 I first thought this was an ACPI or dock problem, but I now think this is a PCI issue after all, since the machine was booted in the dock and no dock/undock events are involved. From this lspci output: 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 81) Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=13, sec-latency=64 I/O behind bridge: 00004000-00009fff Memory behind bridge: c0200000-cfffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: e8000000-efffffff 02:03.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments PCI2032 PCI Docking Bridge (prog-if 01) Bus: primary=02, secondary=0b, subordinate=13, sec-latency=68 I/O behind bridge: 00004000-00004fff Memory behind bridge: 84000000-8bffffff Prefetchable memory behind bridge: 8c000000-93ffffff 0b:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 PC card Cardbus Controller Bus: primary=0b, secondary=0c, subordinate=0f, sec-latency=176 0b:02.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1420 PC card Cardbus Controller Bus: primary=0b, secondary=10, subordinate=13, sec-latency=176 It looks like the dock PCI slot should appear as 0b:00 (as it does in the report at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0607.0/1409.html). We do see the CardBus bridges in the dock. The fact that we don't see the video card, which should be on the same bus, makes me suspect that the dock's PCI slot is bad.
