Hello, On my system running 2.6.31, a video card inserted into the PCI slot in a Thinkpad Dock II is not detected by the system. This might be the same problem as reported here: http://markmail.org/message/xzi7pkbudkeorzjs#query:thinkpad%20dock%20linux%20pci+page:1+mid:5of2pjjpyw6jzrqk+state:results But, unlike that lucky poster, the issue did not magically go away on my system after experimenting with the kernel boot options. I know the PCI card itself works, since I have inserted it into an old desktop system and it was detected correctly. I have set the Thinkpad's BIOS to its default settings and then tried booting with - acpi=off - pci=noacpi - pci=nobios - pci=assign-busses - pci=routeirq None of these worked. The video card in the PCI slot (not to be confused with the ATI Radeon Mobility that shows up in lspci's output; that is the laptop's built-in video controller) never becomes visible in the output of lspci. I have paste-binned output that might be helpful (both after booting with pci=assign-busses, since that seems to be the most often prescribed solution for similar problems): - dmesg: http://pastebin.com/HFhhFnYX - lspci -vvv: http://pastebin.com/ehDZ0Twk I also saved the dmesg/lspci -vvv output for all other boot options I tried; if that could be helpful, just let me know. thank you for any help on getting this working lara -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
