Hi, people.
Sorry about the delay, but I have gathered a bunch of information about the machine.
For the record, I tried to put some order on the subdirectory at:

Regarding these options, Yinghai, the options which I enabled once I typed "make oldconfig" were:
CONFIG_PCI_PRI CONFIG_PCI_PASID

I did just that and uploaded a video from Linus's git tree with the options above to:

It took a long time to boot (about 7 minutes), but all details are there, I hope. I can repeat the same steps for your for-pci2 branch, if you want me to.

After searching, and searching, and searching, I could find this thread (in Portuguese) of some people with this computer, all of them having problems with multiple distributions (which is not a surprise, as the kernel has problems with these machines):
http://www.forumdebian.com.br/topico-notebook-amazon-pc-amz-a-101-resolvido
Just for the record, this Clevo was rebranded by a company called Amazon PC (the model is A101). Amazon PC has disappeared from Earth.

I took pictures of the few setup screens, and I reset everything to factory defaults, but still no luck. You can see the photos at:

Sure, I downloaded it an generated some reports. Two of them with this tool that you mentioned and one with lshw. They are at:

--- Comment #16 from Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> 2012-01-18 05:39:52 --- hmm, what's the status of this bug? does the problem still exist in the latest upstream kernel?
Yes, Zhang. Both bugs:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41622 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41722
are still reproducible with the latest kernels. Please, don't close them.
OK. I'm going to bed right now, but I will be happy to provide any further information or test any patches/trees.
Thanks for all the help,
