Short update on my situation. I had no problems whatsoever with Linux since I've moved back to 32bit. Furthermore I don't even need to use the pci=bios parameter anymore - as long as it's x86-32 Linux it just works out of the box. It would be nice to have 64bit version though (for stuff like matlab or 3+ GB RAM native, without PA)
Main problems seems to be a "non-standard PCI host bridge" used with GF8600M configurations. Unfortunately it seems like never to be solved since less and less people tend to have this hardware (even I will get something new soon). So far one partial solution - USE 32BIT VERSION, if still not working use "pci=bios" kernel parameter on boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661248 Title: PCI Race Condition with COMPAL FL90 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/system76/+bug/661248/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
