Please stop suggesting a BIOS upgrade. The BIOS is totally out of our control, and if the current BIOS works with Windows but not Linux, 99.99% of users will just run Windows. Those users will just give up on Linux, and we'll never even hear about it. Fortunately, Bill is a sophisticated user who cared enough to report the issue, so we have a chance to do something about it. What we need is for Linux to deal with this situation better, and that *IS* in our control. For example, we could detect the BAR being read-only when we size it. We could use the read-only address to derive the worst-case BAR size (32K in this case). We could mark it as IORESOURCE_PCI_FIXED and use that to avoid trying to move it. We could log a message to this effect so the next time it will take 10 minutes instead of 6 weeks to diagnose the problem. The end result for Bill will be the same (an unexpected message while booting), but we can at least make the message intelligible rather than "BAR 0: error updating (0xdfa00004 != 0xfed98004)". -- 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
