Description Marc Dietrich 2008-05-20 13:16:18 UTC 
On systems without PCI (like ps3), /sys/bus/pci is not created. The Xserver tries to accessed this file even if the driver is fbdev, which causes the server to crash.

There is a fedora bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447593 which also describes the problem including backtrace.
