I got similar problem in the AMD64 based systems. There is a bug in the AMD64 based the system. BIOS blocked any access beyond 256 bytes. I can dump extended configuration registers in the Intel based system.

Hi all,

I've been trying to get 'lspci -xxxx' to display the extended configuration registers for one of my devices, without success. So far, I've only had this problem under Ubuntu, so I originally submitted this issue to the Ubuntu bug tracker. The details are here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pciutils/+bug/563458

I've tried installing the latest version of pciutils from source, with no change. One thing that might be relevant is that Ubuntu 8.04 ships with a much newer kernel (2.6.24-27) than the machine I'm comparing against (CentOS 5.4, kernel version 2.6.18-164), where lspci behaves as expected.

I've tried the various access methods (linux_sysfs, linux_proc, and intel_conf1), again with no change. If I try to explicitly probe one of the extended registers (0x180 in this example) using 'sudo setpci -s 01:00.0 180.B', it always prints 'ff', which is the same thing I get if I do it without root privileges.

For the sake of comparison, I've been looking at the video card in the above examples, but I'm really interested in figuring this out so that I can diagnose a chipset configuration problem. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron
