Hallo Kenji,

many thanks for your great supports. The new BIOS from Congatec solves
the problem.

I using both fakephp & pciehp drivers, Can I use both drivers at the
same time?

I am using fakephp because I need "/sys/bus/pci/slots/0000\:02\:00.0/power".

Other thing: my Kernel has "CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT is not set", does
this explain why the scan is not performed automatically?

[root@localhost ~]# modprobe acpiphp
FATAL: Error inserting acpiphp
(/lib/modules/2.6.40.3-0.119.delos.i686/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp.ko):
No such device

What is the advantage to use acpiphp ?


Cheers,
Ghani
