You BIOS needs to be supported. I have several systems that can be
flashed successfully but it will loose all informations, beginning from
the mac adresses of the network adapters.

I can recommend Flashrom [1] for doing BIOS upgrades. Just check if your
board or chipset and flash chip are supported and it should work out of
the box. If something went wrong you should ask on #flashrom or on the
list for help.


Thanks,

I've sent a patch.  I'm hoping Bjorn or some other knowledgeable
person can come up with some comment to obsolete it, but in any case,
I'd be happy with as thorough testing as you can come up with for it.

Do you know anyone else with MSI boards and whether they suffer from
the same problem?

Are there other BIOS versions available for this board, and is it
possible to test them to see if they need the quirk?  (Please do read
the relevant caveats before trying any BIOS updates if involved in
testing for this.)

Well, that's all I can think of.  Good luck.

Thanks.
Jonathan

I can confirm that also the latest kernel: 3.2.0-1-686-pae
fails to boot without the option: pci=use_crs

Do I need to add a comment about this at ticket 42619 too?

I created a new ticket dedicated to the Svante’s board MS-7253, so that
the Debian BTS can track that bug now for #619034. Please comment there
anything else.

Let’s hope so.

Thanks again for your help in this.  I assume current kernels still don't
work out of the box on your machine?

If so, please add a comment to [1] with the newest version you've
checked and your DMI information.  (You can get it with "dmidecode" or
"grep . /sys/class/dmi/id/*", or something like "dmesg | grep DMI" on
more recent kernels.)

Unfortunately some machines need to use the _CRS table and some need
it ignored, so for now upstream is building a table of known cases in
which the kernel looks up the machine at boot time.  Hopefully over
time patterns will emerge and there can be a more principled rule.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan

I am very sorry but I don't have physical access to that box for a month
from now. However, something that might be more interesting is the
output of the second-to last message that was concerning
x86/pci/amd/ I might get help to find that message in a few days.

 This is the azx_readw(chip, GCAP) in azx_create(); chip->remap_addr is
 0xc90011c08000 which does look like a valid pointer, but isn't.

Svante bisected it to v2.6.34-rc1~218^2~27 (x86/pci: Use
resource_size_t in update_res, 2010-02-10) --- thanks.  Which is
pretty weird, since I think phys_addr_t on an amd64 machine (and hence
resource_size_t) would be 64 bits, making that commit a no-op.

Svante, more questions (sorry):

 - could you try booting b74fd238a9cf and b74fd238a9cf^ again
   (to make sure we haven't hit a heisenbug) and send the
   corresponding full dmesg and .config files?

Puzzled,
Jonathan
