It doesn't get further. The Linux driver doesn't set all the time setup strictly but it does set it to be a safer maximum value.

Thanks - so basically its a specific card/device combination (or a dud device you own), that makes it easier as any blacklisting can be very much narrower. > 1106 8598 0000 0000 06 04 00 00 > Bridge - PCI bridge - Normal decode > VIA Technologies, Inc. - VT82C598/694x [Apollo MVP3/Pro133x AGP] Ok so its also a dinosaur which might explain the lack of other reports.
