How do I debug PCI resource allocation problems

This will get long, sorry. But I'm a bit desperate because I encounter strange problems on a new mainboard with Intel Q35 chipset and a shared memory graphics card. The logs and data I use here are from a SLED10 SP1 (x86_64) installation, but the problem occurs whatever distribution I try out.

How do I analyze a soft lockup?

Re: SATA status report updated

PC platforms and we already got anouncements that future platforms will come with SATA only. So can't emphasize enought that SATA support is absolutely important for Linux on the desktop. If there is something I can do to help or contribute let me know. Best regards Rainer -- Dipl.-Inf
