Description of problem: The message appears while booting FC4/FC5 right after the line that says "Uncompressing..." PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 4 and 5 How reproducible: Do fresh install FC4/FC5 with HP zd8000 (zd8342) notebook with PCI/Express Card port/slot Actual results: dmesg shows (stripped) : PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 Expected results: Ideas or solutions why it should be appearing with dmesg afterall it was detected.

When passing below parameters: acpi=noirq - makes Gnome responses very poor.

I have had the same issue on an 8000 series HP laptop with FC4, and on my new ASUS Z71V laptop with both FC4 and FC5. It was the exact same PCI resource error. I have PCI-Express video, two cardbus slots, and a mini-PCI. I always assumed it was a resource allocation error on the two cardbus slots, and the mini-PCI, since none of them work, even with devices I used in my old laptop with FC4, and my video works fine (the high framerate in Quake4 is a testiment to that). I doubt it's caused by the PCI- Express. Since I had both Windows XP, SuSe 10, and Fedora Core 4 on the 8000 series HP laptop, and the wireless worked in Windows, and not in a single distro of Linux (not even Knoppix), I would have to surmise that this is a kernel level issue. The kernel doesn't seem to be capable of assigning the needed resources to the PCI/cardbus slots for them to be accessable. Both of these laptops have ICH6 series motherboards. The ASUS has a 2GHz Pentium M, and DDR-2 memory. I also cannot install Linux off of the optical drive (I had to use an external), but it works fine when booted into FC4/FC5 and using CD or DVD media. I think kernel support for this series of Intel motherboards is a little flaky. I've been looking for drivers, but have not been able to find them.

My initial description of the HP laptop I had first encountered this on was not acurate. I just realized this morning that it was an AMD Turion processor, and not an Intel. It had an ATI chipset, with integrated ATI video using shared memory, while the ASUS laptop has an Intel Pentium M, and as far as I know an Intel chipset with a PCI-Express GeForce card. I will test the pcmciautils package when I get home tonight, and report on it's effectivness. Hopefully it will solve the problem, as I have never been able to get the cardbus or the mini-PCI to work on either of those laptops.
No, the changes made to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts by that updated package do not help. I believe that this is an issue assigning resources to the cardbus/mini- PCI controllers themselves, and not the devices in them. It doesn't matter what is in my cardbus slot, I always get the error. I typically have nothing in my cardbus anyway, since it doesn't work. And I know the mini-PCI is empty, and I' m not even sure how to get the second cardbus slot open on this laptop (still need to consult the instructions on that). I know it's a new form of cardbus, and that a standard cardbus card won't fit in it, but I don't remember what it' s called. Perhaps this issue is caused by the second cardbus slot? Since it's a new form of cardbus, it may be confusing either the kernel, or hotplug.
Updated to kernel version 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 and problems still persist on the ASUS Z71V notebook.
Oh, I need to test it asap!
First of all, with default FC5 kernel, I do not have any boot and logging in problems with this issue. I can boot without hanging ups. Now, upgraded my kernel version to 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp. I still do not have any hanging ups issue. And still have the same results from dmesg of: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 Passed boot parameters pci=routeirq and acpi=noirq with and without the upgraded version of pcmciautils, will show the same above dmesg. With acpi=noirq will give me equal system performance of pentium 286 systems. I am planning to play pcmciautils files, will post back.
I am seeing this series of boot messages on a new Samsung Q35 (with Intel Core Duo processor) running FC5 stock SMP kernel as above. i.e. the lines PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 Appear during boot. There is no kernel hangup though and the machine continues to boot successfully. I will try to gather further information and post back in a day or two.
Further information on the hardware configuration of my ASUS Z71V notebook. Hardware Browser says that my Cardbus slots are Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (and there are two of them in the list, and they are identical), using driver yenta_ socket.

Created attachment 132041 [details] Complete output of dmesg...
Comment on attachment 132041 [details] Complete output of dmesg... Updated to new kernel, 2.6.17-1.2145_FC5, and error persists. Also updated BIOS. With kernel update came two new lines in the error messages, just after the kernel is loaded into memory, which now read as follows: PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG. PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 Note: I only updated my BIOS after the kernel update, and the new error messages. It was in the hopes that there really was a bug in my BIOS, and that it had been fixed. I also tried the command line argument "pci+assign-busses" as was sugested in the output of dmesg, but with no luck. Error still persists. Full output of dmesg is attached. BTW: There is no bug report open on this issue at kernel.org. Is there any reason why a bug report shouldn't be opened there as well?
Same problem (PCI: regions 7, 8 and 9) IBM Thinkpad Model A31 Boot proceeds but no USB devices (disk and mouse) are found. System seems to run OK with the limited testing I have done (using the built-in mouse).
Possible fix listed in changelog at Kernel.org for kernel version 2.6.17.8 Quoted from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17.8 "commit ef2a8a41fdd6f0c8079e6fd4cad1eebdce99aa9a Author: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226> Date: Thu Jun 15 04:41:52 2006 -0400 PCI: fix issues with extended conf space when MMCONFIG disabled because of e820 On 15 Jun 2006 03:45:10 +0200, Andi Kleen wrote: > Anyways I would say that if the BIOS can't get MCFG right then > it's likely not been validated on that board and shouldn't be used. According to Petr Vandrovec: ... "What is important (and checked) is address of MMCONFIG reported by MCFG table... Unfortunately code does not bother with printing that address :-( "Another problem is that code has hardcoded that MMCONFIG area is 256MB large. Unfortunately for the code PCI specification allows any power of two between 2MB and 256MB if vendor knows that such amount of busses (from 2 to 128) will be sufficient for system. With notebook it is quite possible that not full 8 bits are implemented for MMCONFIG bus number." So here is a patch. Unfortunately my system still fails the test because it doesn't reserve any part of the MMCONFIG area, but this may fix others. Booted on x86_64, only compiled on i386. x86_64 still remaps the max area (256MB) even though only 2MB is checked... but 2.6.16 had no check at all so it is still better. PCI: reduce size of x86 MMCONFIG reserved area check 1. Print the address of the MMCONFIG area when the test for that area being reserved fails. 2. Only check if the first 2MB is reserved, as that is the minimum.

x86_64 kernel 2.6.19-rc1 - still the same error PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:04.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:04.0 Interrestingly, 00:04 is the PCI Bridge and on this machine the PCI Express video card is on this bridge - So would this be the reason that DRI does not work?
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) 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. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
Remotely checked IBM xSeries 100 type 8486 server.

These are harmless, but I've silenced them in CVS anyway. The next update won't print them during boot (They'll still be in dmesg output however).
