It sounds like the register-level PCI configuration space probe fails, but this is basically the same code that's in 3.x. At any rate, I am a little wary of bringing the PCI BIOS config space access functions back to 4.x so late. I should have looked at this earlier, I'm sorry. On the other hand, there *is* an easy workaround to turn them off, so in the worst case we would have an escape route. Jordan, what's your feeling on this? I don't have a 450GX board to test with. 8( -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
