So in the output of prtconf -pv, what is the 'assigned-addresses' property for the cardbus bridge (You may search 060700 for that node) ? You may file a bug for kernel/boot-x86, we can then discuss whether we should handle this in Newboot. IMHO, even if it's a BIOS bug, we can have a workaround in Newboot. If an assigned-address is an unreasonable value, we can reprogram it. Vincent.
