Here are the results from Joachim (without the patch): (from novell.bugzilla.com bug #82986):
segmentation enablee with no extra kernel params = not working segmentation enabled with pci=noacpi = working segmentation disabled with no extra kernel params = working segmentation disabled with pci=noacpi = working
I'd say that only disabling when segmentation is enabled makes sense..., however the devices should still appear. I know there are a lot BIOS versions of this machines flying around. Maybe everybody should check that the latest version is running, first? I have: BIOS Information Vendor: Hewlett-Packard Version: 786B9 v2.05 Release Date: 01/26/2006
