Hi Bjorn, Commit dc9887dc ("x86/PCI: allocate space from the end of a region, not the beginning") causes the kernel to hang on my Dell Inspiron 1545. 2.6.36 and booting with pci=nocrs works fine. Reverting this commit also works. I am attaching the kernel log and system iomem from the working 2.6.36. It hangs at this location consistently: pci-stub: invalid id string "" ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (on-line) input: Lid Switch as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0C0D:00/input/input0 < hang > Let me know if you need any other info. Regards, David.
