Bug#225526: , PCI domains.
Well it dosen't matter, I discussed this on the xfree86 mailing list this is what they had to say.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86&w=2&r=1&s=pci+domains&q=b
It dose seam to be a long standing bug in Xfree86 and now the DBTS is more complete. For
normalization's sake I don't see any reason to have copies of other bugs here, just links too
other sources of information.
BOTTOM LINE, debian can not release xfree86 for sparc64 with this bug. An easy way to fix this
problem is to build all the kernels with pci_domains not set. This will require a little bit of
kernel patching as well as making the correct config changes. It's not the best policy for
packages to force the kernel to be configured or built in a certain way.
I attached my config and logs when I first opened this bug, I will not continue to do so. Please
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=225526 for this information.
pciprobe, I apologize for being so vague and inaccurate. I was just trying to refer to the
xfree86 code responsible for finding pci devices.
I have posted a bug against 2.6-test11, giving a pointer to this bug. The kernel is actually
correct, but for now it is to be reconfigured to get around this bug.
Divid S. Miller has told me that his work is incomplete. This may mean however that it may be
continued by any one with the skill and time. Therefor his CVS commit may be a good place to start.
