 Sorry for the years of silence.  Some kind person found the kernel bugs
 that were no longer associated to the linux-2.6 source package and
 reassigned them to make them visible again.
 
 Do you still have access to this hardware?  If so, can you still
 reproduce this bug?  (A log of the failure would be very useful.)  If
 not, do you remember when it was fixed?

That's very kind of you indeed to ask me about that, but thinking I would 
remember anything related to 2.6.18 kernel in the time of 3.4 is really 
asking too much from me, sorry.

Thanks
Guennadi

 I'm writing this email on this system right now. The kernel is 2.6.35 and 
 I don't have the pci=nommconf option enabled anymore. Looking through my 
 grub configuration I see 2.6.31 kernels still with that option. I'm 
 afraid, that's all I can tell, sorry. This certainly doesn't mean, that 
 with 2.6.31 it still was needed, maybe it had been fixed earlier.

No problem.  That's useful, since it narrows down the range we'd have
to search for the fix if someone using 2.6.32 runs into this.  Marking
accordingly.

Bug#467534: linux-image-2.6.18-6-amd64: Kernel, including install CD, doesn't boot on Intel DQ35JO motherboards

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1
Severity: important

The amd64 Debian (Etch, possibly others too) installation CD doesn't boot 
on Intel DQ35JO motherboards, at least with Core-2-Duo CPUs. Google finds 
several reports of this roblem too. Same holds for the installed kernel, 
and for any vanilla kernel.org kernel. The problem is in the 
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG kernel parameter. It doesn't seem to work on these 
systems. Either disabling it at compile time, or specifying pci=nommconf 
on the kernel command line fixes the problem. Therefore, one can either 
choose to switch this option completely off in the kernel, or at the very 
least, mention the problem and the pci=nommconf solution among 
supported alternative ways of booting the CD.

Thanks
