dmesg with kernel 3.3-rc2
Please make sure pci quirks are enabled in your kernel config. If it still doesn't work with that enabled, can you bisect? Do you mean this option: CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y ? It is enabled in my kernel config. I'm sorry, but I have never bisected a kernel bug before and I don't know the kernel source very well. Are there many changes to radeon_get_bios from 3.2.2 to 3.3-rc2? Maybe you can guess two commits and I can try them... Its most likely one of 211fa4fc4e13492151e698d92b0dff56b29928ec a3f83ab1a717c0e6c2f59a4cfdaa10707cc35c55 Commit a3f83ab1a717c0e6c2f59a4cfdaa10707cc35c55 works, commit 211fa4fc4e13492151e698d92b0dff56b29928ec doesn't.
