Via C3 and VT8605 [ProSavage PM133]

[Peter Wächtler]

I have problems with a ETX Module that has

Via C3 processor
S3 twister (savage) graphics
Realtek 8139 Ethernet
USB in VT82C686 [Apollo Super South]

external Tvia CyberPro 5050 (combined video+audio)

I got messages on bootup:

Can anybody enlighten me what "unknown bridge resource [012]" means?

The Realtek is working fine until I load the trident cyberpro driver.
After that I think the IRQ routing is f*ed up.

On our custom hardware (with CyberPro5050) really strange things happen -
among them the board reboots heavily.

My theorie so far:

The audio part of the cyberpro is a bus master. If enabled and used
weird things happen inside the chipset - IRQ routes get broken
(reconfigured). I also checked with an external powersupply because
I thought that could be the cause.. no luck :-(

A NIC (davicom) on the external PCI bus works fine.
The usb-uhci driver moans about the second USB Hub with something like
"possibly broken cable" (that is not connected at all I think).

We use 2.4.9-ac3+e2compr+  also tried with 2.4.16 - anything changed
since then with the pci bridge quirks? (will check that for myself)
