Please let the upstream developers of that change, and the mailing list associated with it, know about this regression so they can help you out in resolving it. thanks, greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Re: Changelog of features / drivers removed from kernel?
It turns out, after building 14 different commits between v5.8 and v5.9, that a three line change in drivers/pci/controller/pci-xgene.c breaks PCI on this machine. If I revert this file and build the commit that changed it, PCI works properly. No config options changed between these commits. I suppose now it's just a matter of figuring out why this change breaks it, and how it can be fixed and applied to 5.9+.

You're probably looking for a config option that was *removed* between those releases. pgp1j8sdWaDWP.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
