I've been using hw.pci.mcfg=0 since it was introduced but I still don't know where exactly the problem is, or how to pinpoint it (bad bios/bad hardware/bad phase of the moon/etc). The bleeding versions of other OS'es seem to work out of the box, though that doesn't mean much - I'm not sure what they do inside. Regards, Navdeep
