User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
The latest kernel, 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4, generates the following
memory allocation error on booting...

Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel:   MEM window: d0200000-d02fffff
Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel:   PREFETCH window: disabled.
Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@f0000000 for 0000:09:00.0

This problem doesn't occur with 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4smp on the same machine, a Sun dual Opteron workstation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC4 on a Sun dual Opteron workstation
2. Yum update to latest kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 rpms
3. Reboot under the new kernel and not memory allocation errors in messages log.
  

Actual Results:  Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel:   MEM window: d0200000-d02fffff
Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel:   PREFETCH window: disabled.
Oct  3 11:21:48 xxxxx kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@f0000000 for 0000:09:00.0

Expected Results:  No memory allocation errrors

Same error on HP ZD 7168cl laptop
PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq".  If it helps, post a report
PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@f0000000 for 0000:01:00.0

  MEM window: d1000000-d1ffffff
  PREFETCH window: e0000000-efffffff

Comment 2 Robert Swinford 2005-11-01 05:46:59 UTC
Same annoying message on the ever popular Compal CL56 notebook.  I assume this
has to do with the changeover to generic PCI code in the 2.6.13 release.  No
useful way to suppress this either.

It seems however to work fine later:

based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.
