[fm-discuss] Will the PCI diagnosis engine detect faulty PCI adaptors?

[Matty]

Howdy,

I see that FMA was recently extended to diagnose problems on PCI, PCI-X 
and PCI-E buses. Does anyone happen to know if the FMA PCI code will be 
able to identify faulty PCI adaptors? The company I work for has on one 
more than one occassion spent endless hours trying to diagnose periodic
hardware glitches, which turned out to be the result of a flaky NIC,
HBA or SCSI controller. FMA is really really neat, and I am hopeful that
the FMA PCI-* support will be able to diagnose faulty adaptors on a PCI 
bus.

Thanks,
- Ryan
