. If a device is not found by BIOS can it still be used? . Why is the USB device getting IRQ 0? . Why is the Firewire device 8020 unknown? Attached is output of lspci, syslog, and output of lspci -vv. Hoping I can get some help. Please CC me any suggestions. Thanks. lspci -------- 00:00.0 Host bridge: VLSI Technology Inc 82C592-FC1 (rev 01) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: VLSI Technology Inc 82C593-FC1 (rev 01) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: CMD Technology Inc PCI0640 (rev 02) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03) 00:11.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c764/765 [Trio32/64/64V+] 00:12.0 SCSI storage controller: BusLogic BT-946C (BA80C30) [MultiMaster 10] 01:04.0 USB Controller: CMD Technology Inc USB0670 (rev 06) >>>>> 01:05.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments: Unknown device 8020 >From syslog ----------- Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.00 entry at 0xfc9bb, last bus=0 Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: PCI: Using configuration type 1 Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: PCI: Probing PCI hardware Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: Unknown bridge resource 1: assuming transparent Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: Unknown bridge resource 2: assuming transparent >>>>> Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: PCI: Device 01:20 not found by BIOS >>>>> Apr 29 17:56:03 shakti kernel: PCI: Device 01:28 not found by BIOS ...
