Hi Claudiu,

finally, I got around to it...

No, I did not and it makes a difference. With the command above, removal
also works fine. But leaving it and letting the policy stay "default",
removal doesn't work. I don't even see this line:

pcieport 0000:00:00.0: Recovering Root Port due to Link Down

Is this expected? I'd think "default" should work as well?

Thanks for the guidance!
