Hi,

I'm sending this because the kernel message said I should :)


[1.] PCI: Bus #03 (-#06) is hidden behind transparent bridge #01 (-#03)
[2.] I recently compiled 2.6.18.3 for my laptop, and when I inspected the logs I found this:

     Nov 27 14:46:41 m03r21a2905 kernel: PCI: Bus #03 (-#06) is hidden behind transparent bridge #01 (-#03) (try 'pci=assign-busses')
     Nov 27 14:46:41 m03r21a2905 kernel: Please report the result to linux-kernel to fix this permanently

     OK, so I added

       append="pci=assign-busses"

     in lilo.conf and now I see:

     Nov 27 14:59:09 m03r21a2905 kernel: PCI: Ignore bogus resource 6 [0:0] of 0000:00:02.0
