Subject: Re: 2.6.26-rc9-git9 doesn't boot on Macintel

Yunghai,
   I had partial success with your proposed patch. The MacPro2
identifier doesn't appear to be correct for a second generation
MacBook Pro so I had to comment out the line...

                     DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "MacPro2"),

With that change, a patched 2.6.26-git2 kernel now uses MMCONFIG.
However I still see the same hang. The boot messages I see on
screen are...

ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 63
PCI: MCFG area at f0000000 reserved in E820
PCI: Using MMCONFIG at f0000000 - f3ffffff
PCI: Using configuration type 1 for base access
ACPI: EC: EC description table is found, configuring boot EC
ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received, switching to interrupt mode
ACPI: BIOS_OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: (S0 S3 S4 S5)
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: EC: GPE = 0x17, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62
ACPI: EC: drivers started in interrupt mode
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000.00)
pci 0000:00:1f.00 : quirk region 0400-047f claimed by ICH6 ACPI/GPIO/TCO
pci 0000.00:1f:00 : quirk region 0500-053f claimed by ICH6 GPIO

...at which the boot hangs. On the positive side, I was able to fully
boot if I passed 'pci=noacpi' to the kernel options (which never worked
before with 2.6.26). I can post the dmesg from a noacpi boot of the
patched kernel to my bugzilla report tonight if it would help debug the
issues we are still seeing with ACPI.
   One thing I notice with the patched kernel (without noacpi) is that I
only see buses 0 - 63. A normal boot of 2.6.25.10 on this machine (or
2.6.26 reportedly on a MacMini) always shows buses 0 - 255. Could this
be related to the ACPI breakage? Let me know if I can do anything
else to debug the ACPI issues under MMCONFIG.
                     Jack
