arrgghh. I don't know what the problem is, but based on the report I got privately a week ago, this kernel command line parameter solves it: pnpacpi=off The (new?) PNP ACPI code is reserving the I/O address (look earlier in your dmesg output), so the driver can't allocate it. -- Matt Domsch Software Architect Dell Linux Solutions linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux Linux on Dell mailing lists @ http://lists.us.dell.com ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
