Hello! This problem is very likely caused by some PCI device hanging whenever lspci attempts to read its configuration. This can happen due to a bug in either the kernel or the hardware itself.
Let us try to find which device it is. First of all, could you please send us the output of `ls -lR /sys', so that we can make sure that there are no devices with strange addresses detected by the kernel? Also, do you know of any version of lspci or the kernel with which the machine does not hang? Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
