Re: Problems with Hint HB6 pci bridge
I have finally discovered a solution to a problem that I have
experienced and have seen repeatedly. A Dell Latitude C-Series laptop
with a C/Dock II does not always like PCI cards in Linux but might work
in Windows XP.
I have a Dell Latitude C810 and now using an Adaptec AUA-3020 Firewire A
USB 2.0 combo PCI card. The first time I tried the card in Linux, I
could only see the PCI-PCI bridge on the card. I then tried Windows XP
with complete success (grumble). After fighting this card for a while,
I found that the card only functions with ACPI turned off ("acpi=off")
in Linux.
I tried pci=bios, pci=nobios, pci=noacpi, pci=conf1, pci=conf2 (VERY
bad--panic), all with and without acpi=noirq. I tried acpi=oldboot.
As an added bit of info, a generic VIA based FW/USB card I have doesn't
work at all with the dock and a Belkin F5U508 Rev3.0 works in Windows
but continuously wakes the machine up with nothing connected to the
card. A friend has a C840 and I think I tried the Belkin card in there
but can't remember if it had a waking issue.
Here's my PCI listings with the card working:
