Hi Chris, Sorry for the delay reply. It seems like my reply last night was missed. >From the sysinfo you provide, there are no pcie port devices under /sys/bus/pci_express/devices. Maybe because there are some problems with _OSC in your laptop, so pcie port driver won't create pcie port device for hotplug, aer and so on. Maybe you can add boot parameter "pcie_ports=native" and reboot your laptop. Then use #modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1 pciehp_debug=1 to load pciehp modules. After above actions, enter /sys/bus/pci_express/devices/ directory and /sys/bus/pci/slots/ Some slots and pcie port devices should be there now. /sys/bus/pci_express/devices: total 0 /sys/bus/pci_express/drivers: total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 27 13:17 pciehp/ On 2013/1/28 6:53, Chris Clayton wrote: > Thanks again, Martin. > > Firstly, maybe we should remove the linux-media list from the copy list.
