I fixed this for myself by creating a custom dsdt override where I moved the
following resource from _CRS of Device PCI0 (PNP0A03) to that of Device SYSR
(PNP0C02):
IO (Decode16,
0x4000, // Range Minimum
0x4000, // Range Maximum
0x01, // Alignment
0x42, // Length
)
Maybe this could help other people with similarly broken BIOSes.
I hope that not too many systems with that hardware survived to these days,
because it seems that almost all of them shared a lot of common bugs in their
BIOS
(and good luck getting any fixes for those systems from their vendors now).
