This is long term problem. Hardware: HP notebook nx8220 (some users report this problem on nx6120). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Simply boot on new HP notebooks (nx8220). Additional info:
I have a HP nw8240 with the same problem. It boots fine with acpi=off, however, it still gives the error message above, so I'm not sure that this error message is relevant. This is what it writes: ... PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Bridge: 0000:00:01.0 IO window: 2000-2fff MEM window: c8800000-c8bfffff PREFETCH window: c0000000-c7ffffff PCI: Bridge: 0000:00:1c.0 IO window: disabled. MEM window: c8000000-c83fffff PREFETCH window: disabled. ... Can you boot a newer kernel with acpi=off?
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 169738 ***
"acpi=off" is no solution. With acpi=off, this messages occurs: ---------------------- PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1 PCI: Device 0000:00:1c.1 not available because of resource collisions PCI: Device 0000:00:1c.1 not available because of resource collisions ---------------------- (See new 2 lines on end) acpi=off is not solution for me at all - I need batery status etc...
Does acpi=noirq work, as suggested in bug 169738?
Yes - acpi=noirq works. PCI error messages (from Comment #3) still occurs, but booting continues. Thanks.
for me with kernel 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 the system (HP nc6220) hangs on boot even when I apply apci=noirq
(In reply to comment #6) > for me with kernel 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 the system (HP nc6220) hangs on boot even > when I apply apci=noirq Is this a typo? It should be acpi=noirq
YES it was a typo !! With acpi=noirq it works !!!
