Comment 100 for bug 661248

Short update on my situation.
I had no problems whatsoever with Linux since I've moved back to 32bit. Furthermore I don't even need to use the pci=bios parameter anymore - as long as it's x86-32 Linux it just works out of the box.
It would be nice to have 64bit version though (for stuff like matlab or 3+ GB RAM native, without PA)

Main problems seems to be a "non-standard PCI host bridge" used with GF8600M configurations. Unfortunately it seems like never to be solved since less and less people tend to have this hardware (even I will get something new soon).

So far one partial solution - USE 32BIT VERSION, if still not working use "pci=bios" kernel parameter on boot
