Subject: Intel PCI-E bridge ACPI resources and possibly related SATA unstability
 problems on ASUS A8Js

Hi,

recently I got my hands on an ASUS A8Js notebook (Core 2 Duo T7200,
Intel 945 PM PCI-E Chipset, for details see attached log). After booting 
the latest 2.6.20-rc5-git3 kernel (but the same behaviour occurs also with 
the 2.6.19.2, didn't try any other), some strange behaviour can be 
observed.

At first the following messages appear in the log:

...
[   40.303154] PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved
[   40.303157] PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

(not sure whether this is really a problem)

...
[   40.400899] PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing
[   40.400902] PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq".  If it helps, post a report
[   40.400911] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.3
[   40.400914] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.3
[   40.400917] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.3

and if I have the Kouwell 5652E SATA-II ExpressCard (with Silicon Image 
SiL 3132 controller) connected to the notebook's ExpressCard slot, also 
the following messages appear after the above ones:

[   40.400999] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:04:00.0
[   40.401003] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 2 of device 0000:04:00.0
[   40.401006] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 4 of device 0000:04:00.0

04:00.0 Mass storage controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3132 Serial ATA Raid II Controller (rev 01)

Both SATA controllers (the on-board using ata_piix and the ExpressCard 
using sata_sil24) are the detected

However, strange messages simillar to the following appear periodically 
(possibly a result of the system accessing the disk, but not always, when 
accessed) for both controllers

Until after some seconds of accessing the disk on the external controller, 
the whole disk is shut down:

I didn't manage to shut down the disk on the primary ata_piix controller 
that easily, but I guess when I'd try long and hard enough, it may suffer 
the same fate (or maybe not?).

All of this is clearly reproducible. I do not know whether this behaviour 
is somehow related to the ACPI detection problems stated at the beginning 
of the mail, or whether these are two different bugs. That's why I haven't 
reported it to bugzilla yet, because I do not know which section this or 
these (?) should belong to. But I will do so, if anyone of you shall 
kindly give me some clue for this. Also if you need any more info or 
testing, just ask.

The full system logs (and configuration) are attached.
