I hope that's a suitable kernel for your tests. I've moved away from the 3.8 development kernel onto one that's stable and on which Martin has identified a solution. I see Greg KH released 3.7.5 yesterday and it includes a pciehp change. I'll upgrade to that, run the tests again and report back. > > One question - should I include the (acpi) pci_slot driver in the kernel build or does pciehp populate the directories without pci_slot? Hi Chris, pci_slot driver is not necessary, I think empty directory under /sys/bus/pci_express/devices is the main problem, Because no pcie port devices found in the system, so pciehp driver can not bind any devices when loading it. Then no slot will created under /sys/bus/pci/devices/slots. > > Thanks again. > >> /sys/bus/pci_express/devices: >> total 0 >> >> /sys/bus/pci_express/drivers: >> total 0 >> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 27 13:17 pciehp/ >> >> >> On 2013/1/28 6:53, Chris Clayton wrote: >>> Thanks again, Martin. >>> >>> Firstly, maybe we should remove the linux-media list from the copy list.
