Begin canned answer 199976:

If you're having problems installing, that message IS NOT the cause of
them. The message is a "warning", not an "error". This particular
warning simply means that one of the PCI devices in your system is not
listed in the kernel's PCI device database. It does not affect the
functionality of that device. It simply means that instead of getting
neat, almost magical "PCI device at yakkety-yack is a flippity-floop",
you get "Unknown PCI device..." Nothing critical about it.

I suspect the "Unknown PCI device" is the Matrox Millenium II, which is
a bleeding-edge card, and probably not listed in the kernel level you
are using to install Linux.

Hi,

I am try to install slackware Linux 3.3.0 .
However, every time when I try to setup from the boot disk,
"Warning  unknow PCI device ........"  appear.

My motherboard is Microstar MS-5148 and the PCI Cards are
MGA Millennium II and Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold.

Can anyone help me to solve, please ?

WHY.

/*      PROCEDURE TO REPORT NEW PCI DEVICES
 * We are trying to collect information on new PCI devices, using
 * the standard PCI identification procedure. If some warning is
 * displayed at boot time, please report
 *      - /proc/pci
 *      - your exact hardware description. Try to find out
 *        which device is unknown. It may be you mainboard chipset.
 *        PCI-CPU bridge or PCI-ISA bridge.
 *      - If you can't find the actual information in your hardware
 *        booklet, try to read the references of the chip on the board.

 *        and I'll add your device to the list as soon as possible
 *
 * BEFORE you send a mail, please check the latest linux releases
 * to be sure it has not been recently added.
 *
 *        Thanks
