Hello everyone!!!

I really need help 'cause I do't have any idea of even which way to go for cary my problem. Ok close to the topic: when I've installed my FC5 and reboted (first reebot after installation) I've got this screen:

Code:

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel

PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1

PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2
PCI: Cannot allocate resourse region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2

Red Hat nash version 5.0.32 starting
                                             Welcome to Fedora Core
                                   Press 'I' to enter interactive startup
Setting clock (localtime): Fri Apr 7........................ [OK]
Starting udev:...  <------- at this point my computer freezes completely

so plz if anyone is familiar or just can help to solve the problem, I'll really apreciate this. And what about all those "PCI" lines anyway?
At the moment of boot there was some devices connected to my latop, such as: laptop cooling pad (usb), RCA cable from S-video port to my TV, USB Hub, Removable Flashcard Reader (usb), LAN cable and mouse. So I've tried to boot up without all this stuff I've left only my mouse connected, and I got the same result.

Not sure what to do but how long did you wait before rebooting? I would wait at least 10 minutes. If it continues then I would check your ' dmesg ' log and see if any errors appear ormaybe the hal udev and initscripts need updated.

Have a look at this me lad https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=172916 particularly the noapic acpi=off.
Seems to be a problem with FC5, but it is in development so maybe try FC4 if you can't get it working, the last thing you want when you're starting out is the thing not even booting!!!
Good luck mate
