Subject: 2.6.20 PCI Cannot allocate resource region 2

Hi,

I get this error on booting up 2.6.20 (Similar error on 2.6.17.7 also,
the message is slightly different in 2.6.17.7)

PCI Cannot allocate resource region 2 of device 0000:02:0a.0
PCI Error while updating region 000:02:0a.0/5 (f3e00004 != 0200)
PCI Error while updating region 000:02:0a.0/5 (high 00000000 != 4e351)

lspci shows me a bit weird status BIST is running (on 2.6.17.7)
on 2.6.20, the line which says BIST is running, does not exist.

I have attached the lspci outputs on both 2.6.17.7 and 2.6.20

The device is a PCI 2.2 compliant device a multimedia bridge device
called Mantis.
The card is a plain 32 bit PCI card in a 32 bit PCI slot on an Asus
P4C800 motherboard.

looking at lspci output, the last 3 PCI devices are using the same chip.

The last 2 devices are Rev 1 chips, whereas the one which is acting a
bit strange is a newer version from the same vendor.

Any ideas as to why it could not allocate the region ?

Thanks,
Manu
