No, these numbers look correct for me. Read comment in drivers/pci/pci.c:

It may work, but the bridge secondary/subordinate numbers look wrong.
I am pondering if the bus numbering/bridging stuff shouldn't be given a
good looking-over. I have the wonderful _PCI System Architecture, 4th
Ed._ in my hands, and it describes PCI-PCI bridge init in great detail,
including se

The problem is resolved. Mucho Gracias from me and a few (probably
hundreds of people in my workplace) who might want to boot 2.3/4 on these
Dell docking stations (actually we own a few thousand of them, i am just
trying to make sure Linux runs fine ;->)
The proper fix, which is i think what yo

The trouble definitely seems to be the fact that your PCI-PCI bridge does
not seem to have been set up for bridging:
bus res 0 0 -
bus res 1 0 -
Linus, Martin
(Now that i see Martin alive).
Could we pursue this further?

Sorry for the delay, the docking station in question is a few kilometers

Ok, thanks - this part didn't get anything new, the bus numbers are just
different due to the re-allocation, the actual bus windows are the same

I am attaching the debug output on bootup after defining DEBUG in pci.c

Note: this is a Dell Lattitude docking station. The devices which are
