I am working with a client trying to get a 2.2.20 kernel to work on a
Asus A7M266-D Revision 1.04 motherboard (Award Bios v6.0, Revision 1004)
with a single Athlon MP 1500.
The system boots buts recognizes none of the hardware except for a
Promise Fastrack 100 controller and an Intel eepro100. /proc/pci
displays everything as an Unknown device.
Here is a list of what is unknown and beneath it what it actually is. I
looked up each unknown device in a newer PCI table:
Host bridge: AMD Unknown device (rev 17).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=700c.
AMD-762 CPU to PCI Bridge (SMP chipset)
PCI bridge: AMD Unknown device (rev 0).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=700d
AMD-762 CPU to PCI Bridge (AGP 4x)
ISA bridge: AMD Unknown device (rev 4).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=7440.
AMD-768 LPC Bridge
IDE interface: AMD Unknown device (rev 4).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=7441
AMD-768 EIDE Controller
Bridge: AMD Unknown device (rev 3).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=7443.
AMD-768 System Management
PCI bridge: AMD Unknown device (rev 4).
Vendor id=1022. Device id=7448
AMD-768 PCI Bridge
Multimedia audio controller: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 16).
Vendor id=1002. Device id=5046
CMI8738/PCI C3DX PCI Audio Chip
Even though the system recognizes the Promise controller I can't seem to
get it working at all. Support for this controller was compiled into
the 2.2.20 kernel that is being used. This hardware setup was tested
under SuSE 7.3 and it worked fine.
I checked the recent change logs for the 2.2.21 pre 1 and pre 2 kernel
patches and didn't see anything regarding the AMD 760. Is this a known
problem or am I doing something wrong? Upgrading to a 2.4.x kernel is
not an option in this situation. Thanks

To get SMP working you will almost certainly neee 2.4

That is fine - use lspci.

All the AMD 760 work is being done in the 2.4 series. I have no plan to
backport anything but the BIOS fixups to 2.2. You should still get basic
slow PIO IDE from the onboard IDE and nothing should fail outright though.
