------- Comment #15 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-04-08 23:31 -------
I found this reference to the issue in AKM's 2.6.0 mm tree and the linux-scsi
mailing list archive:

"I can tell you what's going on here.  This is a 450NX based
motherboard.  The 450NX chipset from Intel was the first chipset to have
peer PCI busses.  For backwards compatibility, some machine makers
hacked their PCI BIOS to have a fake bridge device on PCI bus 0 that
points to the same bus number as the peer bus.  This way if the OS
didn't know about the peer bus registers it would still find the devices
by scanning behind the bridge.  In this case we are scanning behind this
fake bridge and then also scanning based upon the peer bus registers in
the chipset, and as a result we are finding the device twice.  In order
to fix this problem you need to change the peer bus quirk code for the
450NX chipset to scan the list of bus 0 devices looking for a bridge
that has the same config as the peer bus registers and if so delete the
bridge from the list.  That will avoid double scanning and will avoid
having the PCI code try and configure sub busses via a fake bridge when
it should do all configurations via the 450NX peer bus registers.
