PCI on MPC8265

Hi,

I´m running Linux 2.4.4 on a TQM8260 board with an MPC8265 on it and an Ethernet controller on the PCI Bus.

When Linux scans the PCI Bus it detects the controller multiple times. I could change the for loop to devfn < 9 since I only got the internal host bridge and the controller on the bus:

/* Go find them, Rover! */

for (devfn = 0; devfn < 0x100; devfn += 8) {
	dev0.devfn = devfn;
	pci_scan_slot(&dev0);
}

This works, but I don´t want to change the kernel. So I´m looking for a different solution.

How does the kernel know that it already detected a device before?

Thanks

Hi

I think problen is with the idselect on pci back plane.
Looks like same card is connected to more than one ideselect, so when kernel is doing enumertaion for different idselect, same card is responding and kernel thinks that you have multiple card sitting on pci back plane. In place of changing the kernel, you shall fix your hardware....that is a better solution...
