Hi,
I've installed Centos 5.5 (plus updates) in a machine with INTEL DP43BF motherboard. In order to make Linux detect the PCIs I've added the pci=assign-busses in my GRUB conf.
Everything runs fine but within less than 2 days of uptime the machine simply freezes (black console no connectivity). This has happened more than one time so I'm considering to be a problem. The memtest passed without a problem and the machine uses a compact flash (sandisk extreme III 4GB) as a disk.
I could only find the error messages in my /var/log/messages but those appear hours before the actual lock.
kernel: 0000:00:1a.7 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 01010001
kernel: 0000:00:1d.7 EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 01010001
kernel: eth4: PCI Bus error a290.
kernel: eth4: PCI Bus error 0290.
kernel: eth3: PCI Bus error 2290.
kernel: eth3: PCI Bus error 0290.
Any tips?
