It was booted with snapshot ISO that does not contain your latest pci.c 
changes (it was build on Oct 2nd). And it enters pci_read_vpd() with your 
last pci.c changes (I had a printf() at start of code).

I had an idea of safety counter that will exit vpd code after some 
iterations, but unfortunately I was not able to boot it again from PXE, 
because PXE loader seems not to work when PCI IDs are changed.

Yes, it was very strange to see 10/100 rl PCI ID with Gbit PCI-E re card. 
I can't imagine what people in ASUS service will think about such 
"downgrade" :-) I think, it was possible to add changed PCI id to re 
driver (and disable rl) and try to boot off CD, but it's too late now.

Is it possible to have a runaway VPD code to write 0x812911ec to PCI 
configuration space? It is possible that vendor ID (0x10ec) can't be 
changed this way, and this will result in 0x812911ec/0x812910ec PCI ID.

Can you try to ask people with desktop PCI-E cards based on Realtek 
8168/8111B card on non-production machine to check, does correct VPD data 
exist on this cards? I can try to do step-by step debug (exiting 
read_vpd() code after 1st, 2nd, .... loop iteration) when I come back from 
vacation.

And - without 'RV' changes it was booted several times without problems 
(it hangs in loop in pci_read_vpd(), but it was harmless to PCI IDs).

Yuriy.
