Hi there, Linus.

It does look similar, but not quite the same. And, yes, my main desktop (the one that I'm using right now) was affected by Edward's commit, which, BTW, has my Reported-and-tested-by.
This one is different. Here is a brief summary of the situation:
# Computer description
* Rebranded Clevo M5X0JE * nForce2 chipset * AMD Sempron CPU * NIC with driver forcedeth * wifi rtl8187
# Booting options
The current working options passed to the kernel are: `acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic`
It doesn't boot with a vanilla kernel. It only boots when I pass the options above *and* compile the kernel with the following patch applied:
,----[ do_not_size_subtractive_decoding_transparent_pci_to_pci_bridges.patch ] | diff --git a/drivers/pci/setup-bus.c b/drivers/pci/setup-bus.c | index 86b69f85..84543f5 100644 | --- a/drivers/pci/setup-bus.c | +++ b/drivers/pci/setup-bus.c | @@ -849,6 +849,10 @@ void __ref __pci_bus_size_bridges(struct pci_bus *bus, | break; | | case PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE_PCI: | + /* don't size subtractive decoding (transparent) | + * PCI-to-PCI bridges */ | + if (bus->self->transparent) | + break; | pci_bridge_check_ranges(bus); | if (bus->self->is_hotplug_bridge) { | additional_io_size = pci_hotplug_io_size; `----
Otherwise, it hangs right when trying to configure PCI, which, according to the dmesg log when it boots occurs approximately 0.12 seconds after the kernel shows its first message.

Yes, with acpi=off it "works" (well, it seems that without ACPI many things don't get enabled). At least mom was able to visit a site like Gmail to check her email.
She would like say that she is positively impressed with the committment of the community with a case of a layman person and she told me to send you all big thank you.
