I compared your 3.3.0 and 3.4.3 logs:
-Linux version 3.3.0-4.fc16.i686
(mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) gcc version 4.6.2 20111027
(Red Hat 4.6.2-1) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Mar 20 18:45:14 UTC 2012
+Linux version 3.4.3-1.fc17.i686
(mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) gcc
version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Jun 18
20:52:37 UTC 2012
I don't see much that's different, except this:
-pci 0000:03:09.1: reg 10: [mem 0xf1bff400-0xf1bff4ff]
+pci 0000:03:09.1: reg 10: [mem 0xf1bff500-0xf1bff5ff]
which hints that the BIOS configured that device (an SD Host
controller) differently. Is it possible that a BIOS setup change is
what made the difference? Can you reproduce the failure and success
on the exact same hardware & BIOS setup? I also notice the 3.3.0
failure was apparently on battery power and the 3.4.3 success was with
AC power. Shouldn't matter, but obviously *something* that shouldn't
matter does matter in this case.
The problem device is 0000:0b:00.0, and the bridge 00:1c.1 leads to
bus 0b. There's a little bit more noise in 3.4.3 related to 1c.1
bridge windows, but the ultimate configuration is the same except for
the 64-bit pref window, which 0b:00.0 doesn't use anyway:
pci 0000:0b:00.0: reg 10: [mem 0xf1eff000-0xf1efffff]
-pci 0000:00:1c.1: BAR 15: assigned [mem 0xf0200000-0xf03fffff 64bit pref]
+pci 0000:00:1c.1: bridge window [io 0x1000-0x0fff] to [bus 0b-0b]
add_size 1000
+pci 0000:00:1c.1: bridge window [mem 0x00100000-0x000fffff 64bit pref] to [bus
0b-0b] add_size 200000
+pci 0000:00:1c.1: res[15]=[mem 0x00100000-0x000fffff 64bit pref]
get_res_add_size add_size 200000
+pci 0000:00:1c.1: res[13]=[io 0x1000-0x0fff] get_res_add_size add_size 1000
+pci 0000:00:1c.1: BAR 15: assigned [mem 0xf0400000-0xf05fffff 64bit pref]
pci_bus 0000:0b: resource 1 [mem 0xf1e00000-0xf1efffff]
-pci_bus 0000:0b: resource 2 [mem 0xf0200000-0xf03fffff 64bit pref]
+pci_bus 0000:0b: resource 2 [mem 0xf0400000-0xf05fffff 64bit pref]
Any ideas, Yinghai?
