Now the machine is running Linux xxxx 2.6.35.4 #2 SMP Wed Sep 1 10:15:04 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Note that this issue was present in 2.6.34 and 2.6.33 but i though that it might get fixed in the meantime. The issue ---------- The controller is sometimes detected and some times not. I mean that at some boots it is present as a PCI device (listed in pci -v as 05:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation Device 0194 (rev 03) (prog-if 30) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at febfe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [70] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Count=8 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff Capabilities: [150] #18 Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd ) and some other times it just does not exist. Maybe it is PCIe express related. Also people on linux-usb mailing list suggested this. I include 2 full dmesg logs ziped due to the size as well a unified diff of them. NOTE that "echo 1> /sys/bus/pci/rescan" does not do anything. Please cc the replies if any to the sender email (noxelia ...)Is this x1 device in a x4 (or higher xN) slot? I've seen x4 slots not lane-(width) sync with x1 NICs in some systems (even though the PCIe spec says it should), esp. if one resets the device after boot (i.e., flr reset). If so, try the card in a x1 slot& see if the problem goes away.
The card fits exactly on the x1 slot (the smallest possible). Thanks vasil -- 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
