Linux normally uses the resource assignments done by the BIOS, but it
is possible for the kernel to reassign those.  We don't have good
automatic support for that yet, but on a recent upstream kernel, you
can try "pci=realloc".  I doubt this option is in CentOS 6.3, though.

If an upstream kernel with "pci=realloc" still doesn't work, please
post the entire dmesg log.
