After using 2.6.8 and 2.6.11 for a *long* time I decided to upgrade. When I
first tried using 2.6.15 I tested a vanilla kernel and ran into the following
message in the dmesg:
PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@f0000000 for 0000:01:00.0
Since I'm running FC4 I figured that a fix might have made it into the distro
supplied kernel, so I again upgraded, this time to 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4. I see
the same message in the dmesg output, so I'm certain that it hasn't been
fixed.
This is definately caused by my graphics card, an NVidia GeForce 5200, just
because that's the PCI ID of the AGP port.
I know a lot of you will tell me to file a report with RedHat, but after
checking the LKML archives I see this problem was introduced around 2.6.13
and though I saw some patches to fix this, I'm pretty certain they were
either for x86-64 or were not ever merged.
Attached is the full dmesg.

Even with this message, does the hardware still work properly?
