Description Jimmy.Jazz 2008-06-23 08:14:32 UTC 
Latest working kernel version: n/a
Earliest failing kernel version: n/a
Distribution: n/a
Hardware Environment: Abit AX78 (AM2+ AMD 770 / SB600)
Software Environment: n/a
Problem Description:

i have to set the kernel parameter pci=nommconf, otherwise the on-board Marvell Gigabit ethernet card 88x8056 is not always recognized even when the kernel module is forced loading. I'm using sky2 kernel driver. Moreover, the motherboard seems not to have a phy controller built in and also the on-board ethernet card does not work natively at its maximal speed 1Gb.

The same appends sometimes with the ps2 keyboard. As a workaround i use the i8042.npnp parameter to make the keyboard work.
 
The bios lets me activate XSDT table for 64bits OS, but this does not change anything. 

I sent the acpi dump file to the linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org directly (21/06/2008) because of a thermal warning. If you want me to send it again let me know (i don't want to send a duplicate).

Steps to reproduce: n/a

moving to Drivers/PCI, due to pci=nommconf

If your system has additional problems that are present
even with "pci=nommconf", please file an additional sighting.

Is this bug still present ?
Comment 3 Jimmy.Jazz 2010-01-19 18:41:44 UTC 
Sorry i cannot tell, the computer is still installed with its 2.6.26 original kernel and i don't have access to it.
