First of all, does passing "override_bios=1" as a module parameter
to the yenta_socket module help?

What does "lspci -vvv" report?

Could you send us a full "dmesg" with the switch in the A and one with the
switch in the B position, preferrably with ddebug_query="module yenta_socket +p"
added as boot parameter?

Was this with or without the "pci=assign-busses" parameter?
