[Arm-dev] Fwd: Kernel problems on APM X-Gene

[Gordan Bobic]

This sounds familiar. ISTR messages like this when I tried to use any PCIe
cards in my machine, and the machine would typically lock up as soon as the
driver for the PCIe card was loaded.

I eventually gave up on running with any PCIe cards.

What was interesting that the CentOS kernel package would run fine, but as
soon as I rebuilt a mainline kernel with the same config and 4KB memory
pages, the machine would become allergic to any PCIe card I put in it
(tried several AMD and Nvidia GPUs and several SATA controllers).

Do you have any PCIe cards in yours?

I was able to get output by adding this to my kernel parameters:

console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x1c020000

However, the console is flooded with messages like this:

[   42.982471] pcieport 0002:00:00.0:   TLP Header: 60001004 000000ff

[   43.185695] pcieport 0002:00:00.0:    [20] Unsupported Request    (First)

I'm happy I can boot now. If I can also stop the errors, that'd be great.
