This looks like the same problem reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=313491 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=280641 > PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #6:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for device 0000:80:07.0 > PCI: Unable to reserve mem region #6:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for device 0000:80:08.0 Your 2.6.23.12 /proc/iomem shows this: dfefd000-dfefdfff : 0000:80:08.0 dfefd000-dfefd3ff : pnp 00:07 dfefe000-dfefefff : 0000:80:07.0 dfefe000-dfefe3ff : pnp 00:07 That means the dfefd000-dfefd3ff range is mentioned both as a resource of an ACPI motherboard device (we call it "pnp 00:07" above) and as a BAR of the SATA PCI device 0000:80:08.0. The PNP "system" driver reserves that range to keep us from putting another device on top of it, and the sata_nv reservation fails because it extends past the end of the PNP reservation. I think this is a bug in the BIOS description of the motherboard device. In 2.6.20, the PNP system driver reserved ioport resources but ignored mmio resources. In 2.6.23, the system driver reserves both ioport and mmio resources, which I think is more correct, but exposes this bug. I posted the attached test patch to the redhat bugzilla above, but nobody's tested it yet. Can you try it?
