PCI cannot allocate resource for region 7 8 and 9 on Acer Aspire 5601AWLMi Laptop

here is my dmesg output

On the same laptop I have the same problem also in Gutsy.
$uname -a
Linux martijn 2.6.22-11-generic #1 SMP Mon Sep 17 03:45:58 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Same here, on the Ubuntu Gutsy beta release, downloaded today. I have an Acer Aspire 5612WLMi. Dmesg and lspci are attached.

My errors are the same on Gutsy 7.10. I have a Toshiba U305 series laptop. I have
been without sound on this machine since I installed 7.04. I had hoped that the full
release would fix the problem, but I tried the Start disk and it still had the errors on
start-up. I would very much like to listen to all the ogg-vorbis format sound files I had
painstakingly converted so I could convert completely to linux and stop dealing with
MicroShaft. Please help me get the sound working. I think that this error and my
sound issues are related. I had no sound on 7.04 either. I have tried the alsa work-
arounds to no avail.

Please help me figure this out??? Could it be a kernel issue?

Hi,

I got the same problem with both 7.04 and 7.10. Toshiba psp3ae and fixed it by adding the option acpi=off to the kernel into /boot/grub/menu.lst

you should have something like:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash acpi=off

hope this help

fixed is maybe not the right word ... you worked around ...

some people still might want to use acpi...

correct! it was a nice board effect of another bug fixed with intel connextant HD Audio sound card
