I may have turned off a necessary feature of the kernle to produce this lspci output:

Code:
# lspci
0000:00:00.0 Class 0600: 1106:0691 (rev 44)
0000:00:01.0 Class 0604: 1106:8598
0000:00:07.0 Class 0601: 1106:0596 (rev 23)
0000:00:07.1 Class 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 10)
0000:00:07.3 Class 0600: 1106:3050 (rev 30)
0000:00:11.0 Class 0200: 1317:0985 (rev 11)
0000:00:13.0 Class 0401: 1274:5880 (rev 02)
0000:01:00.0 Class 0300: 10de:0110 (rev b2)


Any ideas why the full device names do not appear?

Thank you.

Most likely you did turn something off in the kernel. Look under Bus options for PCI device name database and make sure it's checked. In make menuconfig of course.

I have the same problem, but the database is compiled in. Could it be a udev problem?

Code:
lspci -vvv


Does that help?

Err wait, does this file exist?

/usr/share/misc/pci.ids

If so, what does
Code:
wc -l /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
give you?
(That shows how many lines are in the file)

I get 8983.

This is the pci id -> name conversion database.

Could have you accidently removed/deleted/renamed it?

This:

Code:
bjlinux ~ # wc -l /usr/share/misc/pci.ids
9260 /usr/share/misc/pci.ids


so I actually have more...odd. Using lspci -vvv gives more information, but still not names.

I have met the same problem. I used gentoo livecd 2004.2,
and start from stage3. The version of pciutils is 2.1.11-r1.
I just re-emerged this package. Everything is OK.

Hope it works for you.

Sure enough, there was a -r2 that didn't want to get automerged with -U world. Thanks!

ok...
the solution is a file access issue...
(at least in my case, which was much like this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=217882

I simply added a symlink as illustrated in the following file listing:
Code:
# pushd /usr/share/
/usr/share ~
# ls -Fl
total 62

drwxr-xr-x    4 root root  616 Aug 22 15:18 ntp/

Cheers,

PS: Forgot to mention the version of my pciutil package:
Code:

  *  sys-apps/pciutils
      Latest version available: 2.1.11-r1
      Latest version installed: 2.1.11-r1
