Bug Description

On a Sony VAIO FE31H (Dual Core, 120Gb SATA, 1Gb RAM, GeForce 7400) laptop.

Message is:

[17179571.196000] PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@c0000000 for 0000:01:00.0

This is related to the 7400 graphics adapter as far as I can see.

Does this cause any problems? Do you have problems with the graphics adaptor?

This bug is not causing any specific issues that I can see at present.

This issue is not just restricted to dapper and affects edgy, gentoo and a number of other distributions. Searching the net this issues is starting to appear more as others attempt to install GNU Linux on newer laptops with nvidia adaptors.

Just as a side note. This message also appears in the stock release fedora 6 kernel, but is not present in their 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel update.

This test was performed with no nvidia driver installed and was only using stock fedora packages, so can quite rightly now be regarded as a kernel issue.

The VGN-FE31B has the same nvidia card and a similar warning with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic
