please give more detail, e.g., are you simply running

Code:

lspci

or using any parameters?

and, what distro (kernel version, hardware, etc...)

Are you running the command as root? Some of the things lspci access are restricted to root only.

I used "lspci -x"... Kernel 2.4, Redhat 7.2, Intel i386 arch.

Yes... I did it in root only... It worked for the first time after boot. Later it's showing error.

lspci : proc : parse error : (read only - 1 times)

run

lspci -xn

if it works, then the problem is in the PCI ID list (at my box /usr/share/pci.ids)

Check it or download new one.
