Description Sing Wong 2006-01-19 16:55:38 UTC

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: Nil
Distribution: Red Hat Enterprise 4
Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkcenter A51
Software Environment: Linux
Problem Description: TG3 cannot be initialized because the upper 32-bit of PCI
BAR address get from the hardware is invalid. This fails when kernel try to

Doesn't that mean your hardware is busted?

Please share the full dmesg output and output of `lspci -vvxx -s <that device>'

It usually means that the BIOS is not initializing the upper 32-bit of
the 64-bit BAR properly.

Any update on this problem?
Sing, can you attach your boot trace and lspci -vv  please (see #1).
Thanks.

Please reopen this bug if:
- it is still present with kernel 2.6.22 and
- you can provide the requested information.
