Hello, Zilvinas! There are utilities that work with PnP BIOS. They are included with pcmcia-cs (which is weird - it should be a separate package) and called "lspci" and "setpci". They depend on PnP BIOS support in the kernel (CONFIG_PNPBIOS). Dumping your PnP BIOS configuration and checking whet

I tested 2.4.4-ac9 today on A7V133 machine. It booted up, but can't stand any load. It will deadlock (without oops) when the network/disk system faces any load. There is also some new bug in VIA IDE driver. It misdetects cable as 80-w when it's only 40-w and causes some CRC errors and speed dropp
