(smiles) On a personal note, can anybody tell me what this means?
For what it's worth, I see this too: PCI quirk: region 1000-107f claimed by ICH4 ACPI/GPIO/TCO PCI quirk: region 1300-133f claimed by ICH4 GPIO PCI: Ignoring BAR0-3 of IDE controller 0000:00:1f.1 PCI: Transparent bridge - 0000:00:1e.0 PCI: Bus #02 (-#05) is hidden behind transparent bridge #01 (-#01) (try 'pci=assign-busses') Please report the result to linux-kernel to fix this permanently ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0.PCI2._PRT] I've not noticed any ill-effects, though, and using pci=assign-busses just seems to suppress the message.
I haven't noticed any effects I can relate to this error, either. I've got some instabilites with my PCI network card, but they persist after passing the suggested messages to the kernel.
This is just a warning, it should be reported directly to <bk> according to the latest kernel updates.
