Comment 114 for bug 760131

I have added pcie_aspm=force to my kernel (2.6.38, Natty) command line and rebooted. It is picked up:
"PCIe ASPM is forcedly enabled"
It still seems diabled:
"ACPI FADT declares the system doesn't support PCIe ASPM, so disable it"
lspci shows its only enabled for the controller and the nvidia card:
:~$ sudo lspci -vvv|grep -i aspm
