Have just built 4.3.0 on a newly installed Debian Linux (Woody 3.0) distribution (kernel version 2.2.20)running on an Alpha LX164 box. X fails to start, and the log file strongly suggests that the PCI bus is not being probed at all. Running XFree86 -scanpci gives no output, and the log file in its entirety is:
(II) Module ABI versions: XFree86 ANSI C Emulation: 0.2 XFree86 Video Driver: 0.6 XFree86 XInput driver : 0.4 XFree86 Server Extension : 0.2 XFree86 Font Renderer : 0.4 (II) Loader running on linux (II) LoadModule: "scanpci" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libscanpci.a (II) Module scanpci: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.3.0, module version = 1.0.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 No PCI info available
I very recently built the exact same X code on a RedHat distribution running on the same box, with no problem. I am guessing that there is something still missing from my Debian installation that mis-configures the build. Can anybody suggest what OS or configuration feature (or lack thereof) might cause the resulting code to be "PCI-blind"?
Thanks in advance,
