This time WITH the attachments :)
Everyone,
I have a p35 Toshiba laptop running 2.6.12-rc1-mm3 and while I have
managed to get most things working it seems that much of the hardware is
not being recognized. For example:
root@jackass ~# lspci
0000:00:00.0 Host bridge:
ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5831 (rev 02)
0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge:

0000:00:13.0 USB Controller:
ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4347 (rev 01)
0000:00:13.1 USB Controller:
ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4348 (rev 01)
0000:00:13.2 USB Controller:
ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4345 (rev 01)
0000:00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc ATI SMBus (rev 1a)
0000:00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4349
0000:00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 434c
0000:00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4342
0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller:
ATI Technologies Inc IXP150 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
0000:00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 434d (rev 01)
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller:
ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5835
0000:02:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394):
VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 80)
0000:02:02.0 Ethernet controller:
Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
0000:02:03.0 Ethernet controller:
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
0000:02:04.0 Cardroot@jackass ~# Bus bridge:
ENE Technology Inc CB710 Cardbus Controller
0000:02:04.1 FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc: Unknown device 0530
0000:02:04.2 0805: ENE Technology Inc: Unknown device 0550
0000:02:04.3 FLASH memory: ENE Technology Inc: Unknown device 0520
Thats quite a few "unknown devices" :). I know this machine has an ATI
chipset but it seems that it may be a Toshiba-fied version. ACPI appears to
be "working" but the following seems problematic:
root@jackass ~# dmesg | grep '^ACPI: No ACPI bus support' | wc -l
32
As does this snip from dmesg:
ACPI-0294: *** Error: Looking up [STAT] in namespace, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.BAT1._BIF] (Node dbf58300),
AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
ACPI-0294: *** Error: Looking up [PBST] in namespace, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC0.BAT1._BST] (Node dbf582e0),
AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
SyncLink PC Card driver $Revision: 4.26 $
And doing a 'echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep' does absolutely nothing.
I guess my question is, is there anything I can do to improve the hardware
compatibility? I have tried a myriad of kernel options but nothing I do
seems to get any additional hardware recognized. Any suggestions are
appreciated.
attached is the lspci -vv output, dmesg, and kernel config for
2.6.12-rc1-mm3.
TIA

All it means is that your PCI device base is older than your laptop. See
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/. There you can check the online database
and download an updated pci.ids file to copy to (typically) /usr/share.
After that lspci might know more.
Hope that helps,
