2.4.17: fails to detect PCI bus

[Eamonn Hamilton]

Hi.

I've just tried updating a friends machine from 2.4.9 to 2.4.17. 2.4.17
fails to detect the PCI bus in his system. I saw some discussion about
this kind of problem back in the 2.4.10 period, but I though it was
fixed?

Anybody got any ideas?

Cheers,
Eamonn

 

Failed boot from 2.4.17:
