cs: warning: no high memory space available!

[marvin stodolsky]

During boot of a Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop with a 2.0.36 kernel, the
warning (indicated by <<<< below) is recorded by dmesg.  While there are
no manifest performance defects, I'd like to understand it.

cs: warning: no high memory space available! (what does it mean?)

[Paul Nathan Puri]

Hello All:

I recently compiled 2.2.1 and I have most of the package upgrades.

When I boot, I get the following message
"cs: warning: no high memory space available!"
"memory_cs: RequestWindow: Resource in use."

Then, it locks up.  I'm running a laptop.  I can keep it from locking 
up by changing my bios settings from PnPOS to Enable or Auto on the 
parport, serial port, and audio, and by enabling all my apm features in
bios.  Otherwise it locks up at boot.  With all these enabled, it finish
es booting, but I still get that warning.  In addition, pcmcia-cs won't 
detect my cards correctly.  What could be the problem?

Thanks,

NatePuri
