Summary: PCI bridge to bus boot hang at enumeration Kernel Version: 6.1-rc1...
With Kernel 6.1-rc1 the enumeration process stopped working for me, see attachments.
The enumeration works fine with Kernel 6.0 and below.
Same problem still exists with v6.1. and v6.2.-rc1
This is a regression between v6.0 and v6.1-rc1. Console output during boot freezes after nvidiafb deactivates the VGA console.
It was a lot of work for Zeno, but we finally isolated this console hang to 145eed48de27 ("fbdev: Remove conflicting devices on PCI bus").
The system actually does continue to boot and is accessible via ssh, but the console appears hung, at least for output. More details in the bugzilla starting at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216859#c47 .
145eed48de27 ("fbdev: Remove conflicting devices on PCI bus") doesn't say what the benefit is, or what would break if we reverted it.
Does anybody have any clues? It would be nice to resolve this regression before v6.2, which will probably be released 2/12 or 2/19.
