The ServerWorks peer bus problem is still present on the 2.4.1 kernel. The
problem stems from the fact that there can be more than one secondary bus
for a given north bridge. For example, the Compaq Proliant DL580 has two
"root busses" coming off of a single north bridge. I'm including below an
email from Adam Lackorzynski. In his email, he includes a patch that fixes
the problem. I think Martin objected because he thought the patch got the
meaning of the two config registers wrong, but it is, in fact, correct.
Please accept this patch so that the 2.4 kernel can see all PCI devices on
systems with the ServerWorks chipset.
Thanks,
Dan Zink

------------------------------------------
The patch below (against vanilla 2.4.0) makes Linux recognize
PCI-Devices sitting in another PCI bus than 0 (or 1).
This was tested on a Netfinity 7100-8666 using a ServerWorks chipset.
