lspci doesn't seem to be able to find the pci.ids database from hwdata. $ rpm -q pciutils hwdata pciutils-2.1.11-3 hwdata-0.101-1 $ lspci pcilib: Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/devices 0000:00:00.0 Class 0600: 1039:0651 (rev 01) 0000:00:01.0 Class 0604: 1039:0001 <snip> $ lspci -i /usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS651 Host (rev 01) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) <snip>
The problem with wrong path to pci.ids got fixed in pciutils-2.1.11-4 (bug #111665). Are you running kernel 2.6? You need to mount /sys first but it looks like it's falling back to using /proc.
