I can get the card to be recognized by removing a 2GB DIMM. I have just updated to the latest Dell BIOS version A13 to see if the updated BIOS solved this problem. With 2GB of RAM, the card is recognized properly but with 4GB RAM the BIOS/SMM bug returns. Below is the error from my laptop.

This bug is definitely a good argument to do so. We'd had some answer from HP already long time ago. Hope that helps to get at least a statement, otherwise I'll bring above into discussion again. Such things are decided at some higher level, but if our people cannot work with this HW, why should we buy it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I sent these to Dell's BIOS developer. Below is his response: "First of all, we should make clear the key point for this issue. When I first became aware of this issue I said that the key point is: "Why does the WWAN memory BAR get allocated above 4GB?" The BIOS allocates each device memory BAR when the system boots. But when Linux starts up, the OS driver maybe reallocates the device memory BAR, thus causing the WWAN memory BAR error under Linux. I checked in the logs you sent and I found that this WWAN BAR always gets allocated just above the total available memory size. When the system had 2GB installed, it allocated at 0x88000000-0x8bffffff. When installed with 4GB, and memory reclaim is enabled, the available memory size will reach to 0x120000000, also indicated in E820 table. Now the BAR is allocated at 0x120000000-0x123ffffff. Actually in our BIOS code, we allocate PREFETCH memory start up from 0xE0000000, and MEM bar starts down from 0xF7000000. 4GB_A13 <4>PCI: Bus 4, cardbus bridge: 0000:03:01.0 <6> IO window: 0x00002000-0x000020ff <6> IO window: 0x00002400-0x000024ff <6> PREFETCH window: 0x120000000-0x123ffffff <6> MEM window: 0x124000000-0x127ffffff 2GB_A13 <4>PCI: Bus 4, cardbus bridge: 0000:03:01.0 <6> IO window: 0x00002000-0x000020ff <6> IO window: 0x00002400-0x000024ff <6> PREFETCH window: 0x88000000-0x8bffffff <6> MEM window: 0x8c000000-0x8fffffff So in summary, it seems like the Linux driver may be reallocating the device memory BAR. This can be tested by seeing how it is allocated when booting to DOS rather than Linux. Can you boot to DOS(maybe use a USB flash), and use a utility to dump the PCI device memory? This will tell us what is happening because when booting to DOS the driver will not load, so under this situation, we can check to see what the BIOS allocation is for the memory BAR." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Updated the Dell embedded diagnostics ROM image to build 4104. 2. Minor changes for ASF progress PETS, including adding Dock, video and System Setup PETS. 3. Allow ASF to force PXE boot even if the on-board NIC isn't set to "Enabled w/PXE" in System Setup. 4. Added support for new versions of Intel CPUs. 5. Added feature to briefly illuminate the system battery LED when AC power is inserted. 6. Fixed the issue in which internal NIC intermittently cannot be detected after warm reboot with only battery installed. A02 Fixes/Enhancements (Critical) ------------------ 1. Resolves intermittent no video issue during POST. A01 Initial Release Perhaps someone could get further clarification on what they mean by "Improved support for 4GB memory.", maybe there is something you guys could be taking advantage of on this platform... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It may take some time, but I try to have a look at it. Is it correct, that: - 11.1 is also affected (then I'd like to move the bug to 11.1, means SLED11 is also affected which increases prio). - It doesn't matter whether it's a D630 or D830? Then I try to get a similar machine from the mobile team. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I regressed this BIOS back from A14 to A02 one step at a time and never got this to work with that release. Other contributors to this report tested on a D630, they were able to get an earlier BIOS to work. However they also tested 10.3 and said that it did work for them on all BIOSes, I do believe I recall that 11.1 was also tried and failed identically to 11.0. It's got to be somewhere in this Bugzilla history since this is the only place I would have heard about it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407592 User eclay@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407592#c108 --- Comment #108 from Edward Clay <eclay@novell.com> 2009-02-25 10:13:45 MST --- In reference to comment #103. I have experienced this problem on both my D830 and D630. The D630 works on older BIOS versions but when I install version A14 it doesn't work on openSUSE 11 or 11.1 and SLED11. Currently I am running A04 on the D630 and the card works with all versions of openSUSE and SLED. The D830 I have will not run an older BIOS than A14 and it doesn't work with openSUSE 11 and 11.1 and any of the SLED11 RC's. I haven't tried the debug package in comment #107 but will later this week. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
