Could you tell why it was working? According to your words- it shouldn't. We are using VMD driver, is that matter? I already saw Jonathan's finding, we can check this. But if nommconf stays against hotplug, is it valuable? Maybe we should accept the regression as desired. > Why are you using "pci=nommconf"?

We need to get rid of it definitely. Thanks, Mariusz
