Well, making it work without pci=nomsi is the whole point here. I dunno
why this simple thing doesn't work. Can you post the result of 'lspci
-nn' so that we can see the numeric ID?
I would really like to know the answer to that, but i'm hundred of miles
away. Attached to this email is the output of lspci -nn .
Maybe you have the wrong id of the pci bridge:
