Description of problem: The CPU PCI-E root ports (Dev 1 Fun 0/1) will be disabled if SPKR pin of PCH is without pulled up resister (R890) when the 1st boot of system after SPI flash ROM is updated with *.bin file. This will caused the LOM connected to the root port Dev=1/Fun=1) can't be detected by BIOS and OS. This issue can't be found after a DC/AC cycling after at lease 30 cycles. This issue was found on E-sample build. Now we already decide to mount R890 back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL Kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. To update the SPI flash part with *.bin file by either tool under OS or programmer. 2. AC off then ON 3. power on the system, you can't see the LOM (MAC address) in the BIOS set up menu at the 1st boot. Actual results: This will caused the LOM connected to the root port (Dev=1/Fun=1) can't be detected by BIOS and OS. Expected results: The LOM connected to the root port Dev=1/Fun=1) should be detected by BIOS and OS. Additional info:
